Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb Smoked sausage (Kielbasa)
6 tb Onion -- chopped
1/4 c Flour
1/2 ts Thyme
1/2 ts Black pepper
3 c Milk
1 c Half-and-half
8 oz Sauerkraut, with juice
1 1/2 tb Lemon juice (optional)
2 tb Fresh parsley -- chopped

Chop the sausage coarsely by hand or in a food
processor (leave the casing on). Transfer the sausage
and onion to a deep pan, and saute over medium heat
until the sausage is lightly browned, about 8 minutes.

On a small plate combine the flour, thyme, and pepper.
Add to the sausage and brown all together until the
mixture bubbles up, about 5 minutes. Add the milk and
the half-and-half all at once, and cook stirring until
the mixture again bubbles up, about 5 minutes. Add
the sauerkraut and it juice and bring to a boil; the
mixture will continue to thicken. Taste for tartness,
and lemon juice if desired. Add the parsley and serve
at once. From Cooking from Quilt Country by Marcia
