It’s perfect for a cold fall day and makes for a hardy meal. I like to serve it with a nice loaf of homemade bread and a slice of pie for dessert. This works out great for us on a busy weekday. I just start both the crockpot and the breadmaker in the morning, and then just go about my busy day. By the time we all finally make it back home and hungrily gather around the dinner table the food is ready and waiting for us. This crockpot recipe is fast and easy to put together and there isn’t much cleanup either since everything come out of cans. It’s a great go to pantry meal. I usually have the various canned items waiting for me in my pantry and smoked sausage like kielbasa is something I almost always have on hand. It’s great to flavor just about any type of soup. I’ve also made this soup with leftover holiday ham before and it turned out great as well. We do prefer it with the sausage though since it lends the soup a nice smoky flavor.

I think we end up enjoying a Thanksgiving-style dinner every few weeks. We make a big turkey or turkey breast with different sides like stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, biscuits, or whatever we’re in the mood for that week. While we have days worth of leftovers to enjoy, we also save the turkey carcass to make delicious homemade turkey soup. I’ve found a great copper bottom stainless stockpot that has plenty of room in it to make plenty of soup for the whole family. It’s a great looking pot made of professional grade stainless steel, so I know it’s durable and will last me for many years. At 8 quarts, it’s a perfect size for our family, and I decided to get the copper bottom for its excellent heat conductivity. And with periodic polishing I know this pot will remain looking as brilliantly shiny as new. Anyone who likes making homemade stock and soups would be wise to invest in a quality stainless stockpot.
