Good, but could be improved. I found it too soupy and had to drain a lot of liquid off. And the sodium level is through the roof thanks to the processed soup. It's good. It just needs tweaking.

I thought it was very good and will make this recipe again. The next time I make it will plan on reducing the amount of potatoes and increasing the sauerkraut, my personal taste bud's. But I thought the entire dish was full of flavor and relatively easy to make.

I love this recipe!! My parents do too. My husband doesn't love it, but it is just different taste preferences.
