!Instructions Heat a pot over medium-high heat and add the onion and a splash of the vegetable stock. Sautee until the onions are soft. Add the bay leaves and the smoked paprika and stir constantly for about 30 seconds to release the flavours. Add the carrots, potatoes, stock, water, chickpeas and sauerkraut and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and partially cover. Simmer until the potatoes and carrots are tender – 15 to 20 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper (how much will depend on how salty your sauerkraut is to begin with). Serve and garnish with a green herb, if desired.
