ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth (Swanson)
- 1 lb smoked kielbasa, cut into 1/2-inch slices and skillet fried till golden brown
- 1 garlic clove, pressed
- 16 ounces sauerkraut, lightly rinsed and well drained
- 1 1⁄2 cups cubed peeled potatoes
- 1 cup chopped onion (I like sweet onions)
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup cider vinegar or 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper or 1/4 teaspoon pepper, to taste
- 12 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 dash garlic powder
- 1 dash onion powder
directions
- Pan fry garlic, and kielbasa until kielbasa is golden brown. In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine all ingredients.
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until vegetables are tender.
- **High Altitude -- cook 6-8 hours.
- Tip: Can be prepared in less time if veggies are pre-cooked in the microwave and onion is fried with kielbasa and garlic. Just add all ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for an hour or so to blend flavors.
- Can double recipe and freeze extra in a Zip-Loc for a quick future meal.
