    ★ Why You'll Love this Recipe ★

    A nice warm bowl of this pierogi soup with kielbasa will surely liven up your dinner rotation!

    Sweet and Savory Flavor

    This pierogi soup is the perfect mix of sweet and smoky, thanks to Angry Orchard hard apple cider and kielbasa. It’s cozy, flavorful, and easy to love. The beer broth here is key. Since we have some heavy hitters like the potato stuffed pierogies and very flavorful and rich kielbasa, I wanted a very simple and light broth with a hint of tang.

    Customizable Pierogies

    Use any pierogi flavor you like — potato, cheese, or sauerkraut — to make it your own. They soak up the cider broth and stay hearty.

    Fresh Veggie Boost

    Sautéed red onion and bell peppers add a pop of color and sweet flavor that balances the richness of the soup.

    Easy Microwave Roux

    A quick microwave roux thickens the broth with no stovetop stress. There is a small amount of thickener (I use a simple roux you can make in the microwave with butter + flour) the broth is still very thin yet has just enough body to coat and stick to the ingredients of this soup for perfect bites every time.

    Make it a meal.

    Pair this pierogi soup with a salad and some beer bread for dinner or pack it up and enjoy it for lunch.

    A one-pot dinner!

    When you use a dutch oven, everything can be made in just one pot. Sauté the onions and peppers then add the rest of the ingredients. Easy! And just one pot to clean.

    ★ Ingredients You'll Need ★

    You'll need just 9 ingredients plus water to make this soup! Here's a look at everything you'll need.

    Kielbasa Pierogi Soup Ingredients
    • Angry Orchard hard apple cider create a tasty beer broth.
    • Kielbasa.
    • Pierogies. Any variety works.
    • Red onion and bell peppers.
    • Flour + butter to make a roux to thicken the broth.

    ★ Tips & FAQs ★

    How should I store and reheat leftovers?

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave — the pierogies may soften but will still taste delicious!

    So the broth is basically beer?

    Yup. Kielbasa and beer are a classic combo—especially when the flavorful kielbasa juices blend into a simple beer-based broth. Since apples also pair well with kielbasa, I used Angry Orchard hard cider for a touch of sweetness that balances the salty sausage and complements the peppers and onions. You can use any beer you like—even non-alcoholic—or swap in watered-down apple cider vinegar. It’s flexible, so have fun experimenting with what you have on hand!
    Want to enhance the flavor of the broth or skip the beer? Try adding a little bit of vegetable or chicken bullion to taste.

    Can I make this kid friendly?

    To make this into a kid-friendly, deconstruct it. Cut and set aside some extra raw peppers, spoon out some warm kielbasa (rinse it off if you must) and serve some pierogies plain, heated up in the microwave.

    Instructions

    • In a dutch oven, saute sliced peppers and red onion in olive oil over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes or until onions are translucent, stirring frequently.
    • Add entire bottle of hard cider (or beer). Then fill up the beer bottle twice to add the water (that's 3 cups!). Bring to a boil.
    • Add frozen pierogies and kielbasa. Boil over medium for about 15 minutes.
    • In a small container (I use a ramekin) microwave butter and flour for 30 seconds. (Be sure to cover to prevent splattering) Carefully remove from microwave and stir until well blended. Microwave for 30-45 more seconds until bubbly when removed. This is your roux and will thicken the broth. Scrape into pot of soup. Bring to a boil and stir to combine.
    • Remove from heat then serve. Garnish with parsley if you want to be fancy.

      Sadly I didn't have any angry orchard (which I love), so I made this with a wheat beer. It was very good, and soothing for my sore throat. It was a nice change from my normal dinner rotation. I added some veggie broth flavoring to the water and garlic and paprika. I will make it again with angry orchard and see if it bumps it 5 stars.
