Not only is this a great stew for the winter, it is ultra-cheap. I was able to double this recipe and spend under 20 dollars for the entire thing. As for cooking changes, I omitted the salt and added 4 Cups of low-sodium chicken broth instead of the water. Ends up being more flavor and less sodium. If you are carb-conscious, double the parsnips and remove the potatoes. Even though parsnips are a little starchy as well, they have three times the fiber of potatoes. Also, reduced fat sour cream tastes just as good. I think I'll try cubed pumpkin or butternut squash, an easy find in Fall or winter, instead of the potatoes next time. Happy cooking!

I had a keilbasa in the frig and my spouse didn't want to eat what I had planned for it. So off I went to the Foodnetwork Website and voila!!! Very little chopping and the results were delicious..Very flavorful...Next time I would just double the recipe because they all went back for more!!!

I saw this while "surfing" the website for new recipes to try. Soups and stews
are my kind of comfort food when it's 10 degrees outside. I omitted the parsnips
and added a little cayenne at the request of my son. I also cut the carrots smaller and added 1 cup chicken broth in place of one of the cups of water. I wish I would have looked at the reviews before I made the recipe because I think the kielbasa would have been better if it was cooked a little first. It was still good. I would make it again.

This stew is comfort food, no doubt about it. Although there's a fair bit of prep, it's all easy stuff and goes much quicker with an extra set of hands. What you get, at the end, is a complex medley of flavors that are good on their own but wonderful mixed. The herbed sour cream is the perfect addition at the end and you won't want to leave it out.

Maybe I just like a heartier, richer flavor in my stew, but I found this to be overwhelmingly bland. The only thing I could taste was the kielbasa. The sour cream made it better, but only slightly. On the good side, it kept me from eating a lot of it, so surely my calorie count is down for the week!

I read all the comments before I made this. I did substitute the unsalted chicken stock for the water. I also seared the kielbasa before I added it to the soup as well as doubled the kielbasa in the soup. A 1/2 tsp cumin aded a little more kick and I added a little cilantro to each bowl upon serving. Skipped the sour cream
I served with cornbread brushed with pineapple juice while it was still hot. The sweetness of the pineapple juice helped cut some of the spice of the soup for the kids. Not a drop was left!!

I made this soup with some homemade baked bread and they complimented each other perfectly. I altered the recipe a bit: I lightly seared the vegetables and sausage (I used turkey kielbasa before adding them to the soup. I also added cumin, chili powder, and red pepper flakes and only used about 1/3 of the amount of olive oil called for. With the light sear on the outside, the veggies maintained their shape so that they were melt in your mouth good without being mushy. Overall, this was a great dish that I will be making again. Very savory.

I used a combination of skinless smoked turkey sausage and some Andouille sausage rather than the kielbasas. I omitted the parsnips and used water as the recipe stated. I loved the flavor. I did skim off some of the grease a couple of times during the simmering process. I did not have crusty bread, so I made skillet cornmeal cakes. I will definitely make this recipe again.

Really impressed with the recipes. I left the sausage out, and you couldnt even miss it. The broth was really flavorful. Great easy meal.
