I don’t know about you, but I can always use more easy comfort food recipes. With the craziness of the holidays upon us, I try to stick to quick meals that satisfy the whole family. This kielbasa, cabbage and bacon soup is full of great flavor and it warms you right down to your toes. The whole family loves it, so I have one more low carb soup recipe for the long winter ahead.

This was awesome! I doubled the recipe (I love left-overs!) and added the bacon to the pot in the end, along with a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
So–dumb question, but when do I re-add the bacon? The last it is mentioned is, “Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.”
Wasn’t sure if it was for garnish (with the parmesan), or if it should be included for simmering (since the name of the recipe is “Kielbasa, Cabbage and BACON Soup”. :)
The picture of the soup looks like it is added as a garnish along with the cheese.
