Today was a old time cooking extravaganza. Sauerkraut soup and baking powder biscuits with cheese and green onions. Very good. Jason loved both but was concerned that the biscuits were "fat bombs". The biscuits were so easy that it made me wonder why I don't make them more often. I actually just patted them into a round and cut it into 8 equal parts. Certainly much less of a hassle than cutting out rounds of dough with a cutter (the main reason I was avoiding making this recipe in the first place.
The soup was good but I did not each much once I realized that I might inadvertently cause the baby some issues if I ate too much cabbage. But it was good. Included both ribs and sausage in the soup and it had a nice smoky flavor. The irritating thing was that I had tried to make a stock using the ribs and it was so fatty. So in the end, I just boiled the ribs and then ditched the liquid and used beef broth as the soup base. Added 2 cans of V8 to it too so it would take the edge off the kraut.
