Red pepper flakes bring a little zip to this hearty soup that's full of good-for-you ingredients. Should you have any left over, this soup is fantastic reheated, after flavors have had time to blend. I like to serve steaming bowls with rye bread. -Carol Custer, Clifton Park, New York

KIELBASA SPINACH SOUP

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

KIELBASA AND COLLARDS



Kielbasa and Collards image

The smoky flavor of the kielbasa complements the flavor of the collards while the onions season them both and the carrots add brightness to both the color and that taste. This Yankee gardening in the south finds picking fresh food in JANUARY amazing and delightful. Fresh collards beat tired cabbage out of storage hands down! We prefer our collards drier and served on a plate. If you prefer a wetter, more stew-like dish to serve in a bowl double the chicken stock.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs kielbasa
1 bunch collard greens
2 -3 onions, coarsely chopped
4 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
2 cups chicken stock
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut kielbasa in 2 inch pieces.
  • Clean, trim, and chop collards.
  • Put half the collards into a large pot. Add half the onions, half the carrots, and half the kielbasa with black pepper to taste. Repeat.
  • Pour the chicken stock over the greens. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium to medium-high heat. It will not look like enough chicken stock, but the collards will cook down and the other ingredients will cook in the steam.
  • Continue to simmer, stirring several times, about 45 minutes until collards are tender and carrots are cooked through.
  • Serve accompanied by potatoes, slabs of crusty rye or sourdough bread, or squares of cornbread (try Recipe #277295).

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Dice your vegetables, slice your kielbasa, and measure out your spices before you start cooking to save time and keep your cooking organized.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will ensure that you have enough space to fit all of your ingredients comfortably and prevent overcrowding.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you have too much food in the pot, it will not cook evenly and the soup will be watery. Add the ingredients in batches if necessary.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the other seasonings as desired.
  • Serve the soup hot: Collard kielbasa soup is best served hot, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions.

Conclusion:

Collard kielbasa soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover kielbasa or collard greens. This soup can be tailored to your own preferences by adjusting the amount of vegetables, kielbasa, and seasonings. For a spicier soup, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. For a more hearty soup, add more potatoes or beans. No matter how you make it, collard kielbasa soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
