== Ingredients ==
* 2¼ cups (14 – 16 oz) wine sauerkraut
* 1 cup (8 oz) soaked beans (borlotti)
* 2¼ cups (14 oz) potatoes
* 1 lb (smoked) pork ribs, you could also use pancetta or other smoked pork meat
* clove of garlic
* bay leaf
* ½ tsp cumin
* olive oil
* salt
== Directions ==
# Cook the soaked (overnight) beans with the bay leaf in boiling water.
# Meanwhile cook in another pan the peeled and diced potatoes.
# Heat a little extra virgin olive oil in a separate pan, add a clove of garlic, sauerkraut with bay leaf, cumin and salt, then add water until everything is covered and then submit the smoked pork on top and gently cook everything.
# If the sauerkraut is cooked add the cooked beans and potatoes and cook for another few minutes. If the soup is too thick add a little water to the desired thickness.
# If you prefer a more creamy result, you can pass the soup through a mesh sieve or a strainer.
