My guess would be on the thick paste, otherwise you'd barely notice it. Can you post the relevant section where they use it?
Recipe is really short, so here's pretty much the full thing:
Sauerkraut Soup Russian-Style
3 to 4 tablespoons butter (am substituting with margarine)
1 onion, sliced
2 small carrots, sliced
1 potato, peeled, sliced
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon tomato puree
3/4 pound sauerkraut
4 to 5 cups Basic Beef Stock (references other recipe in book, substituting with premade vegetable broth)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (substituting with half the amount in dried parsley)
1 teaspoon chopped chervil (might omit or replace with half amount herbes de provence since store doesn't sell)
Sour cream
Melt butter; cook onion and carrots until golden. Add potato. Stir in flour; when smooth, add tomato puree and sauerkraut. Cook a few minutes; stir constantly. Add stock and herbs; bring to boil. Simmer about 40 minutes; season to taste. Serve hot with sour cream in each soup cup. Yield 4 to 6 servings.
For this recipe I would use tomato paste. But if I didn't have any on hand or I didn't have one that was open, I would just use a tablespoon or so of ketchup. The extra vinegar from the ketchup would not be out of place here.
Thanks, might explore that as an option.
Yeah, for that amount you'd use paste.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
You can buy the paste in tubes, much more useful and it lasts for weeks in the fridge after opening (package says a couple weeks, but I've gone over a month)
