And it is AWESOME, as it was the other 29 times. You're right that it doesn't look too appetizing, but the smell & taste win people over every time. I just wish I could get someone to help me eat the Beyond Easy Beer Bread that I make with it sometimes. I live alone, so it usually gets moldy before I can eat it all. Kitchen FAIL. So I guess next time, I'll have my mom stop by just as I'm pulling the bread out of the oven, and send her home with half a loaf and half the pot of stew. :-)<br /><br />Thank you again for sharing your great recipes, FarmGirl Susan!

Thank you so much for posting this recipe. It was quite easy to modify and was packed with tons of flavor. Instead of the sausage, I used organic dry-smoked turkey, no-salt added tomatoes, and omitted the salt. Topped with a dollop of sour cream this was delicious and only 67mg!<br />Thank you for a wonderful recipe that made my husband smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-60340610064552931402011-01-06T08:14:13.058-06:002011-01-06T08:14:13.058-06:00Girl, what do you mean?

I added a teaspoon of smoked paprika (to give it a bit more earthiness) and some celery (because I had some wilting in the fridge). The husband had seconds and says that he's looking forward to the leftovers. This recipe is a keeper, for sure.

That kielbasa looks outstanding, too. <BR/>I have noticed that soup, more than other food types, is particularly unphotogenic. It looks so appealing in person, but somehow I can never capture that. <BR/><BR/>Yours actually looks very appetizing,particularly compared to my attempts, which generally appear either murky or lurid.<BR/><BR/> I'm not much of a photographer, but find most food sort of sells itself, picture wise. Not so soup. Of course, I am also amazed by the ability of so many bloggers to capture their cats in a still moment. Thus far, most of my cat pictures are a blur. The most recent on of my young kitten, Ms. Sydney, make her look like she has 2 noses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1132349706889993992005-11-18T15:35:00.000-06:002005-11-18T15:35:00.000-06:00Wow this looks great for a chilly evening supper! ...Wow this looks great for a chilly evening supper!
