Polish Kielbasa, Potato Cabbage Soup

As winter winds down here in the Southwest, it can still get chilly enough for soup. In fact, in the summer, we find time for soup. Because nothing says nothing like something from the recipe book of soup.

This is hearty, very tasty, and so comforting. If it rains, if it snows, grab a bowl and snuggle in a blanket and enjoy.

INGREDIENTS:


  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 4-5 pieces of bacon, cut in 1 inch pieces
  • 1 pkg of Polish Kielbasa
  • 1 medium onion, diced.
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1 15 oz can of sauerkraut, UNDRAINED
  • 8 c chicken stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 c fresh dill
  • 1 potato diced
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:



  1. Bring oil to a shimmer, and then add bacon and kielbasa, cooking until fat has been rendered. 
  2. Add onion and carrot and cook until both are softened.
  3. Add cabbage and stir, cooking until wilted.
  4. Add the balance of the ingredients and simmer until potato is done.
  5. Serve with some good bread
SERVES: 8

NOTES: You could replace the potato with turnips or parsnips if desired.
