Polish Sausage (Kielbasa) Soup created by Jane from Ohio

You can use from 1-3 pounds of sausage depending on your tastes. I love dipping buttered rye bread in the soup - must be my Polish genes.

How many calories is in a serving? Im trying to help my oldest son loose weight. He has already lost 10 lbs. I used white rice instead of potatoes

My family is Polish also and this soup caught my eye immediately. Made exactly as written and enjoyed every bite! I used Eckrich smoked sausage, a bag of cole slaw mix so I didnt have to shred cabbage, matchstick sliced carrots and yukon gold potatoes. Couldnt find any fresh dill at the grocery store so I omitted it but would have been a nice topping. Definitely had the rye bread (no caraway seeds though) and butter ready to dip in my soup. A new favorite to add to my soup recipes! Made and reviewed for the Alphabet tag game.

Outstanding soup! I make a fair amount of soups and will admit many of them are above average. I will also admit none of them are better than this. I used a cup or two more of beef broth but other than that followed the recipe. Can't wait to make it again.

This was delicious. The next day I added a large can of diced tomatoes. It was wonderful. Good comfort food at it best.
