Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Buy 1.5 kg of fatty pork on the bone, for example, ham, and 1.2-1.3 kg of sauerkraut.
Step 2
Place a large (5-7 l) pot of water on the stove, add the pork, and lightly salt it. Of course, the sour cabbage will come later, but the meat will absorb all the salt and won't be bland.
Step 3
After boiling, skim off the foam, reduce the heat to the minimum (the broth should only simmer occasionally), and add finely chopped celery root and a large onion. Let the broth simmer for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 4
After an hour, add the sauerkraut to the pot. This should be done gradually with a spoon or fork, so that the gentle simmering does not stop. The cabbage should be added without juice; you can simply squeeze it out. After that, add finely chopped celery stalk, leek, and a pinch of dried dill. For flavor, add 1-2 unpeeled cloves of garlic and 5-6 black peppercorns. The soup will cook for another hour. About 10-15 minutes before it's done, add 4 bay leaves.
Step 5
Pour yourself a shot from a chilled glass. Enjoy your meal!
