Creamy Potato, Sausage and Sauerkraut Soup -Oktoberfest or Any Day

If you'd like to try something new, and are willing to think about using an ingredient in a different way, I highly recommend this Creamy Potato, Sausage and Sauerkraut Soup! While sauerkraut in soup might sound odd, it adds a bit of a tangy taste and naturally goes well with potatoes and smoked sausage. It's rare that I use a whole can of kraut, so it's nice to have another recipe to help use it up. This makes a nice hearty lunch on a crisp fall day, and it comes together fairly quickly too:@)
