Collard Kielbasa Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Cut kielbasa in 2 inch pieces.
• Clean, trim, and chop collards.
• Put half the collards into a large pot. Add half the onions, half the carrots, and half the kielbasa with black pepper to taste. Repeat.
• Pour the chicken stock over the greens. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium to medium-high heat. It will not look like enough chicken stock, but the collards will cook down and the other ingredients will cook in the steam.
• Continue to simmer, stirring several times, about 45 minutes until collards are tender and carrots are cooked through.
• Serve accompanied by potatoes, slabs of crusty rye or sourdough bread, or squares of cornbread (try Recipe #277295).

Steps:

• Combine the broth, spinach and kielbasa in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add beans and macaroni. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 7-9 minutes or until macaroni is tender. Stir in pepper sauce.

Steps:

• Place water and kielbasa into a soup pot, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in diced potatoes, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes more. Add greens and beans, simmer for 20 minutes longer.
• While the greens and beans are cooking, place a saute pan over medium heat. Stir in the bacon, and cook to melt out some of the fat. Sir in the garlic, onions, and bell pepper; cook until the bacon is almost crisp. Drain off as much grease as you can, and add the mixture to the simmering soup, and cook an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat cornmeal in a Ø 25 cm skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, swirling pan constantly, until lightly toasted and fragrant. Transfer cornmeal to a bowl and set aside.
• Sauté sausages in olive oil in the same skillet, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Bring vegetable stock to a boil in a pot over high heat. Whisk in reserved cornmeal, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, whisking often, for about 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the soup for later use.
• Stir in reserved sausages and collards and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until collards wilt.
• Place eggs in a medium bowl and add 1 cup cornmeal mixture; whisk until smooth. Return mixture to pot and stir until incorporated; cook for 1 minute more.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Wash collard greens, taking care to remove all grit. Remove and discard hard stems. Roll up greens in small bunches; cut crosswise into thin strips.
• Heat dressing in Dutch oven or small stockpot on medium heat. Add sausage, onions, garlic and crushed pepper; stir. Cook 4 to 5 min. or until onions are crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
• Stir in broth. Add collard greens; stir. Simmer on medium-low heat 25 to 30 min. or until greens are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar; cook 5 min., stirring occasionally.
