Ingredients
-
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, peeled or scrubbed, chopped
1 stalk of celery, sliced
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 medium potato, peeled, diced
2 cups beef or chicken broth
1 28 oz tin, diced tomatoes
4-6 oz lean kielbasa sausage, cubed
1 19oz tin black beans, or your favorite canned beans
Directions
1. Heat large pot with low fat cooking spray. Add onion, carrot and celery; cook and stir over medium heat until vegetables begin to soften.
2. Stir in garlic, oregano, potato, broth and tomatoes; heat to boiling. Stir in Kielbasa. Cover and simmer gently for at least 1/2 hour to blend flavours.
3. Drain and rinse beans. Add to soup. Heat until hot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crusty bread. (Even better the next day)
** We love this soup. You can prepare it ahead for a gathering and instead of simmering for 1/2 hour, put it in your crockpot on low and add the beans. By the time you are ready to eat (try to make it at least a half an hour) it will be ready to go. Great for potluck as it only gets better the longer it sits.

I made this a few nights ago and it was AMAZING!!! And it's great that it makes loads of leftovers and they taste even better the next day! I will definitely be making this one again. Thanks for the great recipe!
Tip: Use more than 1 potato and type of bean & no salt, the kielbasa is salty enough - 10/24/08

Added an extra potato since canned black beans usually come in only 15 oz cans. Used a turkey smoked sausage and added chili powder and a bit of crushed red pepper to make up for the zest the kielbasa would offer. The sausage soaked the spices up great! Topped with a dollop of light sour cream. - 11/21/10

Excellent! Very easy to prepare and very flavorful. Used chicken broth, substituted al fresco (brand) Smoked Andouille Chicken Sausage for the kielbasa. Used 1 14 oz can regular diced tomatoes and 1 can fire roasted tomatoes, which gave it a rich flavor. Added an additional can of northern beans. - 1/18/16

This soup is excellent, but I made a few changes to the recipe.I used 3 carrots, 3 stalks of celery, 6 potatoes and doubled the broth. I also used Italian seasoning instead of oregano and threw it all in the crock pot (after sautéing the carrots, celery and onion in a little EVOO). Will make again. - 1/20/15

I guess I'm in the minority here as I thought it would be more flavorful based on the feedback. I think next time I'd add more kielbasa for flavor, and either use a smaller potato or eliminate altogether. and possibly add corn and/or rotel instead of plain tomatoes. It does make A LOT Of soup. - 11/19/13

I have made this soup for years and have used different beans..My preference is White Beans.I use smoked sausage which I make and at the end I add spinach which will take about 2 minutes to soften..But heres a trick I let the soup cool down and then strain it thru a fine mesh sieve to remove grease. - 12/31/12

Have to say I really enjoyed this. I modified it a bit...added more beans (less soupy), did not use carrots or celery or oregano but added corn and chili to make it more southwestern. I also used Jennie-O turkey sausage to cut some calories. Will definitely make again...thanks for sharing. - 9/24/12

This is by far one of my most favorite soups of all times. I have been making it for over a year and I make it year around. I do add a can & 1/2 of Green Gian's Nibblet Corn, I use beef kielbasa. Seasoned tomatoes No potato at all. I also have to cook it in the slow cooker to get proper tenderness! - 9/19/11

This soup is awesome. I made it today for lunch. I used turkey kielbasa and a 14.5 oz can of tomatoes because that was all I had. I added chilli powder and red pepper flakes along with the oregano like another reviewer . This is a keeper. I will make this again and again. Thanks for the recipe. - 4/11/11
