Kielbasa Stew

This recipe is always a favorite in our house. I like to really amp up the Polish flavors of the recipe by doing the following. 1) I make a purée from a can of diced tomatoes with the immersion blender instead of tomato soup, 2) add 1tsp of dried oregano and 2tsp of regular paprika to the tomato purée, 3) add the purée to the pan with the browned kielbasa and let it all simmer together for about 5mins until the purée turns a slightly darker shade of red. This deepens the flavor of the dish and the added spices immensely. Then I add the broth and continue with the rest of the recipe as written. It’s just a couple of extra steps and makes a huge difference. There won’t be any leftovers!

This is a very tasty stew, the only reason I gave 4 stars is because there were no leftovers. Next time I'm going to double or even triple the ingredients.

I made it step by step and at the end threw in some baked beans! It turned out incredible!!

A perfect recipe to make your own! We added 1 1/2 cups of spinach and kale, 10 oz of great northern beans , and enough broth to keep the ratio. 5 out of 5 people said it was beyond delicious! Even added a fried egg with a top of sour cream and salsa the following morning! Would rate 10 stars if I could!
