How to Make Pierogi Soup

Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 diced onion, cooking for about 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Toss in 12 ounces of frozen mini pierogies into the pot, stirring occasionally and cooking for an additional 4 minutes until they start to heat through and take on a little color.
Stir in 1 cup of sauerkraut and 4 cups of chicken broth. Season the mixture generously with salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, blending all the flavors together.
Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the soup is piping hot and the flavors meld beautifully.
Remove the lid and ladle the soup into bowls. If desired, top each serving with a dollop of sour cream for an extra creamy finish.
