peppy and refreshing light soup, quick to make.

Cut the sauerkraut into spoon-sized pieces. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pot. Add the garlic and sauté for a few seconds. Deglaze with the canned tomatoes and stir through. Add the meat broth and the entire tube of tomato paste and bring to a boil. Season with salt, sugar, and pepper. Then puree the contents of the pot with an immersion blender.
