Let’s Get Cooking:
In a large pot (nonstick preferred), heat the olive oil on medium heat and add the sliced kielbasa and sliced ring bologna. Gently heat the meats to gain a slight browning on the outside surface, then add the minced garlic. Sauté meat and garlic for another few minutes.
Add the 4 cartons of stock, then the noodles, and bring the stock up to a boil. Cook the noodles until almost done (still with a little bite), then reduce the heat back down to medium heat. Add all remaining ingredients to the pot. Cook soup uncovered and on medium heat for ten minutes, maintaining a gentle rolling boil, a slow simmer, until the noodles are fully cooked and all ingredients are heated through. Stir occasionally! Taste and season to your taste preference. Add more seasoning as you like. Then it’s Dinner Time!! Enjoy!
