I think your a great cook, and as we get older things happen just change your diet intake and do strength training. But don't stop cooking, we make our own choices, and every thing good must be done in moderation.Just keep on moving Sista!

I have this soup simmering right now, and the house smells heavenly! I can't wait to ladle up big bowls with crusty bread to dunk in it. Also, I used russet potatoes instead of red (because that's what I had), otherwise I made it exactly as written. Thanks, Paula!

My family loved this soup. My husband says it deserves more than 5 stars. The only thing I did differently was used basil and oregano instead of dill.

Hey Paula,, do you have a recipe for smoking a turkey, what would you put on it?? I looked all over your web page and could not find it. I love your recipes, I use them in a lot of my BBQ foods and others.

Smoked Sausage & Sauerkraut Soup-I cooked it last night and I give this receipe a five star, it is the best soup I have made, and its an easy recipe. I cooked it in a dutch pot instead of putting it in a slow cooker and in 3 hours it was done. Paula I just want to thank you for a great recipe, and it did not take long to do it. I love you and your show, and tell your mens I said hello and Paula keep up the good work, you are a great person.

Very yummy! It does have a powerful sauerkraut taste if you forget to drain it. Oops! But my husband loved it still.

These soups sound great; but, why dice? More flavor if vegies are chunked. Maybe I am just greedy, and want it all in a hurry.

This is an "American" version of Polish Bigos soup (Hunter's Stew). If you want to make this, I would suggest looking for an authenic Polish recipe.
