• To assemble:.
• Mix noodles with sauerkraut. Put on individual plates and top with sour cream. Garnish with chives. ( I mince a small part of the bell pepper for additional garnish).
• Note: If you can't get a small can of sauerkraut, the rest of a larger can will keep covered in the fridge for several days. German sauerkraut is mild. Taste yours. If it is very acidic rinse quickly in a colander under the tap.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in noodles and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until barely tender and firm to the bite, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until barely crispy and fat is rendered, 6 to 7 minutes. Reserve 3 tablespoons fat in the pan; drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Drain noodles. Cook onion in the skillet until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix in noodles to coat.
• Transfer noodle mixture to a casserole dish. Toss in sauerkraut, bacon, and mushroom soup. Measure milk into the soup can, shake, and pour into the dish. Mix to combine; season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a heavy 6-quart pot, fry the bacon over moderate heat till almost crisp and drain on paper towels. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of fat from the pot, add the noodles, and stir till they begin to color, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and stir till the vegetables soften and the noodles are golden, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour and paprika over the top, stir, add 1 cup of the broth, and stir about 1 minute longer. Add the sauerkraut, bacon, marjoram, salt and pepper, the remaining broth, and the water, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
• To serve, ladle the hot soup into heavy soup bowls.
