Eisbein (pulled pork) soup

Pulled pork and sauerkraut soup (Serves 6 to 8 )

Sometimes all we want in this miserable weather is a bowl of comforting, steaming soup. No mess, no fuss, only smoky porky goodness. This soup incorporates all the flavours you can expect and love when craving Eisbein, the potatoes, the smoky pork and of course… the sauerkraut. The only thing you might miss is the mustard. I would not really go as far as saying it’s a ‘missing’ flavour though, as the addition of a good dollop of sour cream more than justifies itself and adds a subtle creaminess I would not even consider leaving out. If you are a die-hard mustard lover, why not add some mustard croutons, or even mix some mustard into the sour cream topping! This soup was greeted with a good amount of skepticism when I verbalized the idea during its conception phase, but after tasting it, no trace remained, as empty as bowl it was served in.
