Ingredients

• 2 cups milk

• 2 cups half-and-half
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 6 tablespoons chopped onion
• 1 pound smoked sausage, finely diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook and stir smoked sausage and onion in a large saucepan over low heat until lightly browned, about 15 minutes; stir in flour to coat the sausage and onion. Gradually stir in milk, followed by half-and-half. Raise heat to medium, and simmer the soup until thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme. Mix sauerkraut and its juice into the soup and cook just until sauerkraut is heated through, 1 to 2 more minutes.
