Ingredients & Variations
Sausage – We love kielbasa in this soup recipe but any smoked sausage (or even Italian sausage or turkey kielbasa) works. Brown the sausage for extra flavor. Vegetables – Roasted tomatoes, peppers, and onions add flavor (and nutrients) to this soup. If you have an air fryer, the vegetables can be roasted in the air fryer at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Add other veggies like carrots or celery if you’d like. Pasta – Smaller pasta like ditalini, elbows, or mini shells fit in with the other bite-sized ingredients so a little bit of everything gets on the spoon! If you’re meal prepping, cook the soup separately from the pasta and add it to each bowl when serving. Diced potatoes or even great northern beans can be used in place of pasta if you’d like. Seasonings – Fresh herbs are always best, but if using dried, use a ratio of 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs to 1 teaspoon of dried. DIY your own Italian seasoning!
How to Make Kielbasa Soup
Storing Leftover Soup
Keep leftover kielbasa soup in a covered container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Parmesan rinds are the very ends of the cheese that add an instant boost of flavor to soups, stews, and sauces. Pick some up at the deli counter at the grocery store for a few dollars (they’re so inexpensive!) and freeze them until ready to use. Simmer the rinds in your favorite soups or sauces for a boost of flavor. Discard the parmesan rind before serving the soup. PRO TIP: Parmesan rinds are really inexpensive. I get a little container at the deli for about $2-3 (ask if you don’t see any). Use a fine grater, you can usually still get some cheese off the rinds for garnish!
