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.

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!

good quality vinegar, to taste (I use apple cider vinegar)
salt & pepper
1/4 cup flour

hard-boiled egg (one for each bowl of soup)

Steps:

  • Drain and add cut up potatoes to the water in which you cooked the kielbasa.

  • 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?.

  • 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.

Polish Kielbasa Sauerkraut Soup image

Very filling soup; this has a tangy flavor to it; instead of the dollop of sour cream, you can add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the bowl to smooth out the taste. I don't like to use either; I just like the soup as it is. The only thing I do differently is add extra pepper because I love a peppery 'kraut! Instead of the...
