Two Old Queens Soup

• 3 tablespoons oil
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 1/2 lb smoked kielbasa, diced (see *note at bottom)
• 1 small head of cabbage, chopped small
• 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, undrained
• 6 small new potatoes, quartered
• 1 large yellow squash, sliced
• 1/2 cup catsup, good quality
• 8 cups beef broth (I use Campbells double rich or double strength in a pinch)
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• red wine (a nice splash) (optional)

1. Saute onions in oil until transparent.
2. Add diced kielbasa and brown lightly.
3. Push mixture to the side of the skillet and add garlic in the space you made and saute for thirty seconds.
4. Remove all of this and place in a soup pot with the remaining ingredients. (including any blackened bits that occurred!).
5. Bring soup to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Salt and pepper to taste.
7. *Note: They smoked their own Kielbasa with a smoker. Next time you are grilling, throw an extra Kielbasa link on the BBQ. It adds a really nice touch to the dish).
