At first I forgot to add the sour cream and I thougth this soup was just ok, adding the cream made it much better. I will make again.

I like lots of sausage chunks so I used 2 lbs, don't care for beef broth so I substituted chicken and I threw in some cajun spice seasoning. Yummy! Hubby ate it all up and I had nothing left for lunch the next day *sigh*.

Well Jo, after only one single bite of this stew, hubby declared this a ten star recipe! He LOVED it and so did the kids! I used only broth and no water, tomato sauce in lieu of the soup and added leftover potatoes, which I cubed and a package of spinach. Drew bought two kielbasa links from our local German butcher and this was the perfect way to incorporate the sausage into a really good meal. Thank you so very much!!!!

This was pretty good. I put it in a crockpot.I didn't have tomato soup on hand so I did as some other reviewers did and used diced tomatoes. I also added a beef boullin cube for a little extra flavor.

This was good and easy. I might add potatoes and/or carrots next time like others suggested. And it is more soupy than stewy, but that didn't take away from the taste. I did add hot sauce because I like it more spicy than sweet. Thanks!!

This was easy and delicious - except I would call it a soup rather than stew. Following other reviewers suggestions I only used one cup of water and it still was very thin - had to use a spoon to eat it. I did use the tomato soup and some said they believed that it made it a bit sweet. I agree - I added some hot sauce to counteract that. I would make this a day in advance because like most stews it only gets better. Thanks submitter.

Forgive me for giving a review on an altered recipe, but I thought I had tomato soup when I started preparing this recipe. When I found that I did not have the tomatoe soup, I substituted a can of diced tomatoes, a TBS of Heinz 57, and three cloves of home-roasted garlic. The Stew was great! I still want to try it with the canned tomatoe soup. I originally picked this recipe because my husband is currently on stage I of the Atkins diet. Although, he normally does not like cabbage, unless it is on a reuben, he thought this was really good! It is also good as left-overs! I really enjoyed this as well. The kielbasa adds a unique flavor without adding too much fat! Although, I have to admit, adding the sour cream really improves the already good flavor. Try it! You'll like it. Note: adding the diced tomatoes in place of the canned soup, did increase the fiber content. I agree, with several reviewers that this is more of a soup than a stew as far as texture goes.

What a great recipe! Very hearty and delicious. Next time I make it I'll do what some of the other reviewers have done, add some potatoes or beans.

I'm going to give this recipe 5 stars for giving me the idea to create my own version of Kielbasa Stew, because you can substitute whatever you prefer, I made these changes to suit our taste, I first sautéed the cabbage in butter, extra virgin olive oil and caraway seeds, I used a large can of diced tomatoes for the liquid, I omitted the onions and added some garlic, then I added spices to our taste, if you make sure all your product have no sugar in them your recipe will be acceptable for a high protein diet. I kept the green peppers in, and the sour cream was a very nice touch.

YUM! I absolutely LOVE this recipe. So simple, and low in calories, (and cheap by the way) yet very hearty and flavorful. I typically use turkey kielbasa and light sour cream to make it a little healthier, you would never know the difference! I also add a couple of cloves of garlic (BIG garlic lover here) and several small red potatoes. Give it a try on a cold night and serve with rolls to sop up every last drop! Thanks so much for the recipe, I'll be making this for years to come!

I agree with the others, this is a very easy and tasty stew. I added Navy Beans (rinsed) and garlic to give it extra punch. It is better the second day!

This has so much potential as a very healthy recipe. I followed suggestions and added frozen corn, navy beans, 2 potatoes, and extra cabbage. I also added canned tomatoes instead of using tomato soup and omitted salt. The acidity of the tomatoes and the sausage make salt omission possible. I prefer this without sour cream (doesn't really add anything extra to the dish).
