Cabbage, Kielbasa, and Rice Soup

(not too pretty but yummy)

 

Cabbage, Kielbasa, and Rice Soup

 

7 3/4 sups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cups long-grain white rice

1 tbl. vegetable oil

3/4 pound kielbasa, halved lenghtwise and thinly sliced

1 onion, halved and thinly sliced

1/2 med. green cabbage, cored and finely shredded ( used the pre-shredded bag)

Kosher salt, garlic salt and freshly ground pepper

 

Directions:

1. In a med saucepan, combine 1 3/4 sup of the chicken broth with the rice and bring to a simmer.

 Cover and cook over low heat for 18 min, until the rice is tender. (I did this step ahead)

 

2. In a  soup pot, heat the oil. Add the kielbasa and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned, about 4 min. Add the onion and cabbage and cook until softened, about 6 min. Add the remaining 6 cups of the broth and bring to a simmer, cook until tender, 10 min. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the rice and cook until heated and serve.

 

 

Am hoping it will freeze well.
