This time of year is all about soup! I like a chunky hearty soup and this Red Cabbage Kielbasa White Bean Soup is all that and more!
The star of this soup is the Aunt Nellie’s Sweet & Sour Red Cabbage. The flavors along with all the other vegetables, beans and kielbasa pack a delicious flavor that even your kids will love!

Red Cabbage Kielbasa White Bean Soup
This soup makes a lot, so it’s perfect for large families, potlucks, or having leftovers to freeze. 
Serve it up with a fresh green salad, crusty bread or maybe some homemade croutons. I had a bit of the garlic bread leftover from making my Cheesy German Potato Soup last week, so I cut the rest of the bread into bite-sized cubes and toasted them under the broiler. They were perfect with this Red Cabbage Kielbasa White Bean Soup! It really hit the spot!
I’m not sure what I was more excited about… having a warm and hearty soup for dinner, or being able to use my late mother’s soup tureen which really brought out the beautiful color of the soup.
I believe in using your most cherished dishes. I know my mother was loving it too. She was the master of making a good soup and every one of them, she always added some sort of bean.
There was nothing more comforting to her on a cold day than a pot of beans. Growing up during the depression I guess will do that to a person.
Who’s ready to pull out their Dutch Oven and make some Red Cabbage Kielbasa White Bean Soup?

The beauty of this soup is, you can add any vegetable you have in your fridge. If it’s a softer type of vegetable like zucchini or mushrooms, you’ll want to add it later so it doesn’t get mushy. If you’re not a kielbasa fan, you can omit it, but it sure does go well with the Aunt Nellie’s Sweet & Sour Red Cabbage.
And if you are serving a salad along with your soup, save a small bit of the cabbage to place on top for extra flavor and color!
