SUPER EASY KIELBASA BEAN SOUP



Super Easy Kielbasa Bean Soup image

The subtle flavor of vinegar in the beans adds a special flavor note to this soup. What a wonderful soup for a cool winter night! Serve it with a nice salad or a warm slice of cornbread. Yum!

Provided by Jen Lobb

Categories     Other Soups

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pkg kielbasa, smoked or polish sausage (if you want a healthier version, its fine to use turkey sausage-i do!)
1 medium onion, quartered and sliced thin
3 cans beans- any kind will do...a mix is even better (i like black eyed peas, small butter beans and either pinto or northern beans)
1 Tbsp brown or spicy mustard
1/2 to 1 Tbsp cider vinegar (to taste-to give it a little tang)
montreal steak seasoning...or salt,pepper and a little garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. slice sausage links in half lengthwise then cut into 1/2 inch chunks
  • 2. slice onion as indicated in ingredient list
  • 3. spray either crockpot or medium to large saucepan or soup pot with cooking spray; add sausage and onion
  • 4. pour in the beans, liquid included; add vinegar and mustard- stir to combine (if this is too sour, you can add a tiny bit of sugar to take the edge off); stir in Montreal or other seasonings
  • 5. add just a bit of water to make more 'stew' like but not like a brothy soup- just enough to separate the ingredients a little bit- DO NOT cover the mixture with water
  • 6. turn crockpot on (low if you'll be gone all day, high if you need it in a couple hours) or cook on stove-once it gets to a boiling point, turn heat down and let simmer until flavors blend...re-season to taste
  • 7. ** if you prefer a thicker stock once its done cooking, add a bit of cornstarch/water or use Wondra/gravy flour to thicken....Enjoy!

MY POLISH(EASTER) KIELBASA SOUP



My Polish(Easter) Kielbasa Soup image

This is the soup we referred to as borscht. It wasn't until I was full grown that I found out it isn't referred to as borscht by anybody else! LOL This, like all other soups, tastes better reheated. When storing this soup, keep broth and potatoes in one container, kielbasa in another, and hardboiled eggs separately from both. I couldn't put number of servings because it depends on your appetite! P.S. I finally found 2 others, here on Zaar, who also refers to this as borscht! Yeah!

Provided by Nana Lee

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 potful

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 lb) kielbasa, link
3 1/2 quarts water
3 lbs potatoes, cubed
good quality vinegar, to taste (I use apple cider vinegar)
salt & pepper
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cold water
hard-boiled egg (one for each bowl of soup)

Steps:

  • Boil kielbasa link in 3 quarts of water, occasionally piercing it to release juices, for 30-45 minutes.
  • While kielbasa is cooking, peel and dice potatoes and boil eggs to hard-boiled stage.
  • Keep potatoes in cold water in bowl after rinsing them well.
  • Cool eggs in cold water before peeling.
  • Remove kielbasa from water.
  • Drain and add cut up potatoes to the water in which you cooked the kielbasa.
  • Add salt and cook.
  • When potatoes are done, add pepper and vinegar to taste.
  • *Don't use balsamic vinegar.
  • To thicken soup, add flour to cold water in a jar with lid or shaker.
  • Shake vigorously to combine.
  • Add to simmering soup through a fine strainer to remove any lumps.
  • Stir to incorporate.
  • Simmer a few minutes to slightly thicken soup.
  • Adjust seasonings at this point. More vinegar? More thickening?.
  • When ready to serve, slice kielbasa, approx 1/4-inch slices.
  • Add some to each soup bowl with one chopped egg.
  • Ladle in broth with potatoes.
  • Serve with a good thick-crusted bread like Polish sisel bread.
  • At Easter when there is baked ham we add pieces of chopped ham, and, of course, a dollop of horseradish(white)!

KIELBASA SPINACH SOUP



Kielbasa Spinach Soup image

When it comes to meal-in-a-bowl soups, this is one of the best. Collard greens or chopped kale can be used instead of spinach. The hot pepper sauce adds real kick, but it's fine to leave it out and let each person flavor their own serving. -Antoinette Pisicchio, Easton, Pennsylvania

SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH CRISPY KIELBASA



Split Pea Soup with Crispy Kielbasa image

One of my all-time favorite comfort foods is a bowl of split pea soup, dating back to the days when my mother served us canned pea soup with cut-up hot dogs (very '50s!). Now I prefer a big pot of homemade soup to serve with sautéed kielbasa on top. I love the way the earthy, creamy soup contrasts with the crispy, spicy sausage.

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Good olive oil
2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts, spun-dried (2 leeks)
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large)
2 cups (1/2-inch) diced, scrubbed carrots (3 large)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 pound dry green split peas
8 cups good chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 smoked ham hock
8 fresh thyme sprigs, tied with kitchen twine
2 large fresh bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces smoked kielbasa, halved lengthwise and sliced diagonally in 1/4-inch-thick pieces
Minced fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, onion, and carrots and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and starting to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook for one minute. Stir in the peas to coat with oil and cook for one minute. Add 8 cups of the chicken stock, 2 cups water, the ham hock, thyme bundle, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 1 1/4 hours, stirring occasionally, until the peas are very tender and falling apart. After 45 minutes, stir more frequently, scraping the bottom of the pot to be sure the soup doesn't burn.
  • Discard the thyme bundle, bay leaves, and ham hock. Transfer 2 cups of the soup to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and purée. Return the purée to the pot, adding more chicken stock or water if the soup is too thick.
  • To serve, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10 to 11-inch) sauté pan over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the kielbasa is browned. Serve the soup hot with the kielbasa and parsley sprinkled on top.
  • Make ahead: Reheat the soup over low heat, adding chicken stock or water to thin.
