I’m happily adding this one to my favorite holiday traditions.

It was a delightful palate cleanser between my grandma’sbeef stroganoffand my Aunt Ethel’sred velvet cake.
This soup is that but on another level.
For the record, I would 100% buy a candle called Kielbasa Browning on an Open Fire.

I enjoyed my bowl for breakfast as I flipped through a gift catalog.
It’s nourishing during a season when we’re all probably looking to soothe our spirits.
A greater home cook might see dried beans in the ingredients and intuitively know that they require water.

Kale: Since it’s Christmas, I treat myself to the gift of no kale veins.
Kielbasa: Meanwhile in meat country, I’m terrible at cutting kielbasa on the bias.
I was only able to achieve half-bias cuts thanks to the horseshoe shape of my particular sausage.
Luckily, no matter what shape it is, it still tastes like sausage which is never not tasty.
But don’t stress.
If there is a better method than slow-cooked one-pot meals, I don’t know what it is.
