My kids play basketball, one plays Friday nights and one plays Saturdays. I ws looking for something good that i could make and then come home and re heat that would be good. this did the trick! i added more carrots and more kielbasa but kept the other ingredients the same with the exception of not using the redused sodium chicken broth and it turned out really yummy! My family loved it and has asked me to make it again! This recipe makes alot! i have 3 boys and a little girl and my husband and myself and we all had 2 bowls each and i have leftovers!

<p>Aloha! I just recently started spending more time in the kitchen and am learning that cooking and baking can be fun as well as challenging. My favorite cookbook resources are my 'gourmet' sister and the very patient and generous Ohana of Zaar. Mahalo nui loa! <br /><br />My rating system: The first time I try a recipe, I follow the instructions as given; if I do a little tweaking, I keep that in mind when rating. It's not right to rate lower because of something I did or didn't do. <br />***** ... Excellent! Tasted great with/without tweaking. <br />**** ... Loved It! Tasted great with/without tweaking. <br />No stars ... May be an excellent recipe but I was unable to get it to work for me. May or may not try again later. We don't all have the same taste preferences. I've found recipes with lots of five stars that just didn't work for me and some with less that I thought were great. <br />Thank you All for sharing!</p>
