• 2 Dec 2012

A festive soup made with dried plums, sausage, mushrooms and pork!  I recommend that you leave the soup for at least 1-2 days after it’s cooked so that it gains in depth and flavour.   The secret to this recipe is the sauerkraut, shredded cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria.
