Kielbasa Soup

This is one of my favorite soups. It's really hearty and has a LOT of flavor. If you like kielbasa and sauerkraut, you'll love it.I make this in a crock pot, but you could very easily make it on the stove in about an hour.

Kielbasa Soup

1 pound kielbasa, 1/2 inch cubes

2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock (or water and bouillon equivalent)

1 bag or 1 large can sauerkraut (drained)

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

1/2 cup carrots, chopped

1 large potato, peeled and cubed

1 rib of celery, chopped (optional)

pepper to taste

Put all the ingredients in a crockpot for 4-6 hours on HIGH or 8 to 10 hours on LOW.

On the stove, put all the ingredients in a stock pot, bring to a boil and simmer 30 minutes. Basically, it's done with the potatoes are cooked.
