ONE-DISH KIELBASA, GREEN BEANS & POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut kielbasa into 1" chunks and place in Dutch oven or large pan.
• Add enough water to completely cover the meat and cook on high till it comes to a boil.
• Meanwhile, peel potatoes and the onion, and cut into eighths; drain the green beans.
• Let kielbasa boil for 2 minutes to extract the grease.
• Lower the heat and skim off all grease and foam; discard.
• Turn heat to high again and add vegetables, chicken broth and seasonings to pot; stir to combine.
• If necessary, add enough water to bring the liquid level to about 1" below top of the ingredients.
• Bring to a boil; lower heat to simmer and cover.
• Cook for 20 minutes.
• Serve in soup bowls with crusty bread, which is delicious dipped into the broth.
• NOTE: If frozen green beans are used, put them in with the kielbasa to cook for 7 extra minutes before adding the potatoes and onion; then cook for 20 more minutes.
