What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Sunshine Eats: Kielbasa Sausage Stew! As the outside temperatures continue to rise and fall, there’s comfort in bringing a hearty meal to the dinner table. This is what I call Food for the Soul. Warm up a side of artisan bread from the local bakery, smear on a dab of sweet, creamy butter, and sink your teeth into a heart-warming meal that is sure to please. Rainy days and chilly nights make this an extra-satisfying dish, especially when the sun refuses to shine.
KIELBASA SAUSAGE STEW
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces smoked Kielbasa sausage, sliced into circles
1/2 onion, diced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups chicken broth
1 carrot, pealed and diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1 small potato, peeled and cubed
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubes
1 cup kale, chopped
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Instructions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sliced Kielbasa sausage rounds. Brown on both sides. Do not burn. Reduce heat and add diced onion. Sauté together 3 minutes until golden. Add Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Set aside. In a 2-quart pan, combine chicken broth, diced carrots, diced celery potato cubes, and sweet potato cubes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Add contents of skillet. Allow to simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes longer to enhance flavors. Remove from heat. Add kale and chopped parsley. Stir a couple minutes to wilt. Serve immediately.
Looks so appetising! Beautifully you presented, as always.
Thank you, Gail.

Especially in a two-handled bowl. Then you can pick it up and slurp the broth in the bottom of the bowl. 🤣
