4lbs of red potatoes

2 pks of kielbasa rope sausage

3 c milk

2 c cheddar cheese ( shredded)

1 onion (sweet), diced

1 bag of frozen, chopped broccoli

1 small pk of hickory smoked hog jowl (or bacon)

pepper (to taste)

Mrs. Dash (to taste)

oregano to (taste)

4-5 tbsp flour ( to thicken)

1 lrg box of Swanson’s Chicken Stock

 

In a 12 quart pot: Wash and cut the red potatoes. Dice them in about 1″ chunks, them put them into boiling water.  While they are cooking, add a bit of salt.

On a chopping board, cut up your hog jowl or bacon and put it into a frying skillet. Cook the meat through, but don’t let it crisp.  Drain and set aside.

Once potatoes are done (easily stuck with a knife or fork), drain them, and put them back into the pot.  Add a whole box of chicken stock. Add hot jowl or bacon.  Add diced onion.  Place  back on heat at MEDIUM-LOW.

Cut up kielbasa sausage into chunks or slices, and add to pot.  Add seasonings and mix.

Turn heat down to LOW.

Add milk and cheese.  Stir well (otherwise, it will stick to the bottom of your pot).

In a small bowl, add flour and water to make a paste.  Add to soup mixture.  If mixture isn’t as thick as you would like, add more flour and water, in half of the recipe’s increments.

Leave on LOW, stirring occasionally but consistently, and adding more seasoning to taste for 20-25 minutes.

Serve warm, add more cheese, chives and bacon to the top and enjoy!

    Look like a very satisfying soup that everyone in the family will like. Myself,I would spice it up but leave it nonspicy for the kids.
