Kielbasa & White Bean Stew with Tomatoes & Spinach

With the cooler weather creeping in our Crockpot has come out of the cupboard and taken its place on the counter for the coming months.  So far this Fall we have tried a variety or recipes, but this soup has been a favorite!

We tossed everything (except the spinach) in the slow cooker before leaving for work which made the house smell so delicious when we came home!

Such a yummy soup for cold rainy (and snowy) Colorado days.  Enjoy!





Kielbasa & White Bean Stew with Tomatoes and Spinach
http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2012/02/recipe-for-slow-cooker-kielbasa-and.html

1 lb died small white beans
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried thyme
6 cups chicken broth
1 can (14.5 oz) petite diced tomatoes
14 oz kielbasa sausage, cut into half moon sizes
4 packed cups fresh spinach
Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Toss all ingredients into slow cooker, except spinach, and cook on low for 6-7 hours.  When the beans are done to your liking add in chopped spinach for the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

This recipe made about 6-7 servings for us, which was perfect for dinner, lunch leftovers and enough to freeze to have another day.  The frozen soup reheated perfectly in the Crockpot too!

I hope you enjoy!
