Christmas Soup with Kale and Kielbasa
I’ve made this several times for Christmas Eve and always delicious. This was a recipe known as Alton Brown’s Polish Christmas Soup. Served with a good bread and butter, this is a nice light meal to compliment all the holiday appetizers and sweets, and looks festive as a red,green and white soup.

Merchants around the square are friendly and talkative, and after I asked, Susan, working the store that day, offered to send me her recipe to share. I’m hoping I get to eat these again…soon… Continue reading
