Notes

  • Crock Pot Method
  • Pro Tips
  • Storage
  • Heat butter and olive oil in the slow cooker. Add the kielbasa, onions, carrots and celery, toss to coat. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8.
  • I use Oscar Meyer Polska Kielbasa for this recipe but any variety will work fine.
  • Tomato Sauce can be used instead of V8 in this recipe if needed. Tomato Passata can also be used.
  • Top this soup with Ranch Oyster Crackers for even more flavor!
  • Cabbage: If you have more cabbage to use up after this recipe, be sure to try my Egg Roll in a Bowl, Cabbage and Sausage, and Ramen Noodle Salad!
  •  
  • Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
