No reviews

A hearty and comforting soup made with tender pierogies, smoky kielbasa, and colorful vegetables in a flavorful broth. Perfect for cozy family dinners or chilly days.

Ingredients

12 frozen pierogies

12 oz kielbasa bites or sliced kielbasa

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 bell peppers (red, yellow, orange), seeded and sliced

1 red onion, thinly sliced

3 cups water

½ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 3 cups of water and salt, then bring to a simmer.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in ½ cup of the hot broth until smooth, then stir the mixture back into the soup pot to thicken the broth slightly.
  5. Add the pierogies and browned kielbasa back into the pot. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until the pierogies are heated through and tender.
  6. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water for a richer base.

Try different pierogi fillings like potato, cheese, or sauerkraut.

Add leafy greens such as spinach or kale for extra nutrition.

For a creamier texture, stir in heavy cream or half-and-half before serving.

Top with shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream for added richness.
