Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • stock pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds kielbasa sausage cut into 1-inch slices
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped carrot
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • 6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 15-ounce can Great Northern white beans or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 15-ounce can dark kidney beans rinsed and drained
  • chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a large dutch oven or stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  • Add the onion, green bell pepper, carrot, and garlic. Season with the kosher salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and pepper soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and veggie mixture and stir to coat, stirring and cooking for 1-2 minutes or until it loses its raw floury taste and begins to smell toasty.
  • Slowly add the milk and stir until smooth. Cook until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, stirring often, then add Worcestershire sauce, sage, and beans.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes or until the flavors come together, stirring occasionally. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with a few sprinkles of fresh parsley and french bread for dipping or crackers on the side.

Notes

Stored in gallon-size freezer bags, this soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw, then warm over medium heat on the stove, or in the microwave.
