POLISH PICKLE SOUP! OR POLISH CHILI !

Polish Pickle Soup! or Polish Chili ! image

I had a few requests for this recipe... You can add or delete items and you can play with meats and seasonings... Many people eat this without any meat. It is easy to make and enjoy! You can substitute the sour cream with canned tomatoes (amount doesn't really matter), and you can add Polish Sausage cut up instead of the bacon...

4. Use Garlic Dill Pickles..... This photo is my home canned Garlic Dill Pickles with red peppers..... both are good.
5. Cook 10 minutes with the lid on the pot. Remove lid, take out 1/2 cup of broth, slowly stir the broth into a bowl with the sour cream. Slowly add sour cream mixture into soup pot stirring constantly. If you want the soup thicker, add together the optional cornstarch and water in a bowl or a cup. When well mixed, slowly add to the soup pot (stirring constantly). When thickened, remove from heat. Stir in the optional bacon or ham and serve. At this time you can garnish with a sprig of fresh dill (optional)

I received this recipe from my sister-in-law's friend and she is from Poland. It has fresh chilies and tomatoes, along with beef and polish sausage. This is a really good, different chili recipe.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 pound fully cooked Polish sausage or kielbasa, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 Anaheim chilies, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
3 yellow wax peppers, seeded and chopped
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
4 medium tomatoes, chopped
4 tomatillos, husked and chopped
½ cup distilled white vinegar
¼ cup tomato sauce
1 (4 ounce) jar chopped pimentos, drained
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Steps:

Place the ground beef into a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring to crumble, until beef is no longer pink. Drain off excess grease, leaving just enough to coat the bottom of the pot. Add the polish sausage, onion and garlic to the pot; cook and stir until onion is tender. Mix in the Anaheim, yellow and jalapeno peppers, tomatoes and tomatillos. Simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes.
Pour in the vinegar, tomato sauce and pimentos and then mix in the pinto beans and kidney beans; cover and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes.
