Simple and Tasty!, Member carm411

This was a very easy recipe and the soup was quite tasty. I found it to be much better after it had sat in the refrigerator overnight. When it was fully cooked, I thought it was too thick, so I added a can of chicken broth. This made it a good consistency and didn't alter the taste. I also added black pepper, but I do that to many recipes that include beans. I used light kielbasa to cut down on the fat content.
