Recipe Expert Tips
Smoked Sausage: Smoked kielbasa sausage is easy to find and relatively inexpensive.
Potatoes: You can use just about any type of potato you have on hand.
Soup vegetables: onion, garlic and carrots are basic soup vegetables that add lots of flavor to any soup recipe. If you don't have fresh onion or garlic you can use garlic and onion powder instead.
Canned beans: I love using cannellini beans to make soup.
Canned tomatoes: This recipe calls for diced tomatoes. You can use a can of whole tomatoes or crushed tomatoes. Or use about 1 ½ cups of diced fresh tomato.
Soup seasonings: Bay leaves are a must have spice for all homemade soups. Salt and pepper to taste.
