Ingredients:

Soup:

Optional final touch:

* Optionally, you can substitute kielbasa for a hotdog. But high-quality kielbasas will always be the best choice.

** The ideal size of diced potatoes is anywhere from 3/8” to ½.” Different sizes of diced potatoes can result in different cooking times (in comparison to what shows in the recipe). Additionally, usage of larger diced potatoes may also require more liquid to be added during cooking (it can be just water), which will have to be additionally reduced to the desired thickness of the soup.

*** This recipe assumes that you are working with a sodium-free broth (a broth with no salt added). If you are working with a broth that includes sodium, adjust the amount of salt based on your preference.

Fruit and vegetables are nutritious, full of vitamins, and are very flavorful. Even if you are not interested in gaining the health benefits or appreciate the initial taste, fruit and vegetables are often very important for creating a final flavor in many meals (creating important flavor elements). The following are ways to wash, peel, and cut your produce. In this section, I’m not able to cover all fruits and vegetables but have chosen the most common ones.
