Kielbasa & Bean Soup

Kielbasa & Bean Soup

After Lena was born our friends brought us some delicious soup

for lunch one day and I happened to be scrolling through Pinterest saw a soup that looked like the soup they brought us. I ended up combining 2 different recipes to make this soup. It makes a large pot. I froze so much of it. 

Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 packages of Kielbasa-Sliced in half and then pieces

3 clove garlic-chopped

1 yellow onion-diced

2 carrots-diced

2 stalks celery-diced

1 potato-diced small

1 red pepper-diced

1 can white beans-drained and rinsed

1/2 tsp dried oregano

2 bay leaves

6 cups chicken stock

salt and pepper

3 cups fresh spinach-chopped

Directions

In a large pot heat olive oil and add diced kielbasa and cook for around 5 minutes until browned. Add garlic, onion, carrots, celery, potato, red pepper and white beans. Cook for another 7-10 minutes. Add chicken stock, oregano, bay leave and a little salt and pepper. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender. About 20 minutes. Add the fresh spinach and cook for around 3-5 minutes until the spinach cooks down a little bit. Serve in a bowl and enjoy!
