Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 ounces button mushroom -- sliced
1 small onion -- peeled and diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups broth -- 'chikn' or vegetable
14 1/2 ounces sauerkraut -- (1 can)
14 1/2 ounces crushed Italian tomatoes -- (1 can)
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 celery stalk -- chopped
1 carrot -- peeled and chopped

Use a 4-quart slow cooker. In a skillet on the stove, brown the mushrooms and onion in the olive oil. When lightly browned, put them into your slow cooker. Add the broth and the entire cans of sauerkraut and crushed tomatoes. Stir in the caraway, celery, and carrot. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. Serve with crusty bread.

AuthorNote: I do like sauerkraut! I'm annoyed at myself for avoiding it for so long - I don't know why I was so hesitant to give it a try. A great big thank-you to Rosalind for sending me this recipe. Taking the time to brown the mushrooms and onion in the olive oil is an important step as it provides a bit of fat from the olive oil and lots of flavor.
