Can I make this with kimchee? And no meat.
Thank you for your question! Yes, you can absolutely make this soup with kimchi instead of sauerkraut. Kimchi will add a slightly spicier and more complex flavor to the soup, which can be a delicious variation. Since this is a vegan recipe, you can simply omit the meat or use a plant-based sausage or another protein such as tofu or mushrooms for added texture and flavor.
Just keep in mind that kimchi can be saltier and more seasoned than sauerkraut, so you may want to taste the soup as it cooks and adjust the salt and spices accordingly.
