MY POLISH(EASTER) KIELBASA SOUP

My Polish(Easter) Kielbasa Soup image

This is the soup we referred to as borscht. It wasn't until I was full grown that I found out it isn't referred to as borscht by anybody else! LOL This, like all other soups, tastes better reheated. When storing this soup, keep broth and potatoes in one container, kielbasa in another, and hardboiled eggs separately from both. I couldn't put number of servings because it depends on your appetite! P.S. I finally found 2 others, here on Zaar, who also refers to this as borscht! Yeah!

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 potful

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (1 lb) kielbasa, link
3 1/2 quarts water
3 lbs potatoes, cubed
good quality vinegar, to taste (I use apple cider vinegar)
salt & pepper
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cold water
hard-boiled egg (one for each bowl of soup)

Steps:

Boil kielbasa link in 3 quarts of water, occasionally piercing it to release juices, for 30-45 minutes.
While kielbasa is cooking, peel and dice potatoes and boil eggs to hard-boiled stage.
Keep potatoes in cold water in bowl after rinsing them well.
Cool eggs in cold water before peeling.
Remove kielbasa from water.
Drain and add cut up potatoes to the water in which you cooked the kielbasa.
Add salt and cook.
When potatoes are done, add pepper and vinegar to taste.
*Don't use balsamic vinegar.
To thicken soup, add flour to cold water in a jar with lid or shaker.
Shake vigorously to combine.
Add to simmering soup through a fine strainer to remove any lumps.
Stir to incorporate.
Simmer a few minutes to slightly thicken soup.
Adjust seasonings at this point. More vinegar? More thickening?.
When ready to serve, slice kielbasa, approx 1/4-inch slices.
Add some to each soup bowl with one chopped egg.
Ladle in broth with potatoes.
Serve with a good thick-crusted bread like Polish sisel bread.
At Easter when there is baked ham we add pieces of chopped ham, and, of course, a dollop of horseradish(white)!

EASTER KIELBASA

Easter Kielbasa image

The local "Polish Sausage" we have in the South just isn't anything like what we're used to from a good Polish Butcher. In New Jersey, every butcher makes, and smokes their own sausage, and every one's just a little bit different. It took me a while, but I've been able to find a place that will vacuum bag it, then ship it to South Carolina. If you'll be making the Kielbasa Soup, use the chicken and beef broth. If you're not making the soup, you can just boil it in water. For additional pictures, please visit: http://www.capnrons.com/R_M_Easter_Kielbasy.html?id=RZ

Yield 6 rings, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 (1 lb) kielbasa, rings
3 (1 lb) kielbasa, rings, Kabonosi
2 (1 lb) double smoked kielbasa, rings
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth (optional)
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth (optional)

Steps:

Boil the kielbasa for 45-60 minutes with one can of chicken broth, one can beef broth, and just enough water to cover. Pierce with a fork during cooking to let some of the fat out. Be careful not to pierce too much because then the kielbasa will be dry.
Set it on a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm until you're ready to eat.

Tips:

Choose the right kielbasa: Opt for a kielbasa that is fully cooked and smoked, with a firm texture and a deep red color.
Brown the kielbasa properly: Searing the kielbasa in a pan over medium-high heat until it's browned on all sides adds flavor and color to the dish.
Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to mix and match different vegetables according to your preference. Some popular choices include potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and cabbage.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the kielbasa and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
Season to taste: Adjust the seasonings, including salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, to your liking.

Easter Kielbasa is a delicious and versatile dish that's perfect for a holiday meal or a casual weeknight dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
