Tasty Kielbasa Potato Crockpot Soup Recipe

This recipe is a little twist on the classic potato soup. My mom always cooked with kielbasa, whether it was in a nice cold pasta salad during the summer or in a hot stir fry, it was a staple in my house growing up. However, it hasn’t been something I’ve cooked with much since I’ve been married, mainly because my husband is a huge hunter and we mostly eat game meat. Every once in a while I like a change of pace and will buy kielbasa. It’s almost considered a treat in my house since we have it so rarely.

When I ran across this recipe my mouth started to water. I absolutely love potato soup. Potato soup and kielbasa sound like a match made in heaven to me. I can’t wait to make this for my family to see what they think.
