Starting with the Slow Cooker:

Pork and Sauerkraut Soup

You family will love this traditional Polish meal. If your family has never

eaten sauerkraut, this a great recipe to start with. Kids may need to try a food

several times before they accept it, so don’t give up on sauerkraut (or any

other food) after one or two attempts.

Slow cooked Pork and Sauerkraut Soup, found in Chapter 16, is easy to make.

During the last hour of cooking the soup, have the kids help prepare the

mashed potatoes. The kids can peel the potatoes and you can cut them up.

After the potatoes are cooked, have the kids help put in the butter and milk

and whip them up using the mixer.

Menu:

✓ Pork and Sauerkraut Soup (Chapter 16)

✓ Fresh apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon
