Spicy Kielbasa Soup

SUBMITTED BY: Carol Custer

"Red pepper flakes bring a little zip to this hearty soup that's full of good-for-you ingredients. 'Should you have any left over, this soup is great reheated, after flavors have had time to blend,' writes Carol Custer of Clifton Park, New York. 'I like to serve steaming bowls of it with rye bread.'"
