Recipe: Mom's Kielbasa Soup

Well, over a year later and I've finally gotten around to stealing my mom's recipe for her kielbasa soup, affectionately nicknamed 'hot dog soup.' Around here, we hide the leftovers in personal thermoses so that my brother doesn't eat all of it. Because he's a human garbage disposal and he regularly eats all of the food around home. It is indeed a beloved soup.

Kielbasa Soup Recipe
1/4 c butter
1/2 c chopped onion
3 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
4 cups milk
1 1/2 c chicken broth
1 1/2 c diced cooked potatoes
1 pkg (10 oz) frozen lima beans
1 pkg (~10 oz) frozen whole kernal corn
8 oz thinly sliced kielbasa (mom uses 16 oz)

Melt butter in 4 qt pot. Saute onion until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour and seasonings, until smooth. Remove from heat and gradually stir in milk & broth. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir one minute. Add potatoes, lima beans, corn, and sausage. Heat thoroughly.


Enjoy!
