Ingredients
  • 1 or 2 rings Polish Kielbasa
  • water as needed
  • Roux: flour and water to thicken
  • hard cooked eggs
  • 1 - 2 Tbs vinegar
  • pepper as needed

Directions
  1. .Cover 1 or 2 rings of kielbasa w/ water & bring to a boil.
  2. Simmer 30 mins or so till the sausage is thoroughly cooked.
  3. Remove the sausage & cool the cooking liquid.
  4. Once the fat has solidified, remove it and reserve
  5. Depending on your dietary preferences you can make this soup high or low fat.
  6. For high fat & the most flavor, melt the reserved fat in a sauce pan & combine w/ an equal amount of flour to make a roux.
  7. Bring the sausage liquid up to a boil & whisk in the roux to get a thin consistency, coating a spoon.
  8. For a low fat, remove a 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid & add 1 to 2 TBL flour to make a slurry.
  9. Bring the sausage liquid up to a boil & whisk in the slurry to get a thin consistency, coating a spoon.
  10. After the broth has been thickened, add the sausage that has been cut into 1/8 to 1/4" slices.
  11. Also add 1 or 2 hard cooked eggs that have been sliced.
  12. Finally, add 1 TBL vinegar, more or less to taste.
  13. Generally no need to add salt, but pepper to taste.

I remembered that an friend of mine made this and it is very good.I agree with you on what you had said.5 forks.


Wonderful recipe and I am looking forward to preparing it for my family with one alteration. I will use turkey kielbasa instead of the typical pork. I have substituted turkey for pork before and it works out beautifully. Thank you for sharing and 5 forks plus :D


I LOVE Kielbasa anyway it's fixed! This sounds like a good winter soup.I will try it soon!
