As I said, there is a plenty of variation how to make this soup in this thread. Try to find one you think is a close to what you were used to, based on ingredients, try it and then adjust it a bit to your own taste. sorry to hear about the family, most of mine is gone as well.

Had I been able to ask my family, I certainly would have. They are all deceased. I'll just try my own. Hello Miro, thanks for your feedback.

Sauerkraut soup can be made with a lot of different ways, using different ingredients. etc. And all of them are good. Sorry for not being too much help to you, especially when you don't know what you are looking for. I would say try a recipe from you family, as on this site there were many variation of how to cook a sauerkraut soup. If you can't find it here you indeed need to go to a source, and please when you find it post it here :) You will NEVER get the exact recipe your mom or grandma did, unless you get it from them.

She used to brown spareribs, and then made soup with sauer kraut (I think), potatoes and onions. She would add sour cream at the end. I don't remember what else went in it. It was sour and she just called it Ukrainian cabbage soup. There were no tomatoes or carrots in it. It looked like curdled cream and it was quite anemic but it was very good. For the first meal (there were always tons), my father would eat the spare ribs with the sauerkraut and we would eat the soup.
