[NOTE: This dish was originally made with regular pork hocks. The smoked ones add another dimension of flavor. A good smoked kielbasa could also be used. Also, depending on how tangy you like your Kapusta, you may want to save some of the sauerkraut juice after draining the jar so you can add some back to the soup.] | [NOTE: This dish was originally made with regular pork hocks.
