Old World Chowder

Made by: Michelle

1 lb Kielbasa Polish sausage, diced

1 Tbsp butter 

1 large onion, chopped

1 cup celery, chopping

28 oz Baked Beans (Bush or S.W.)

13 oz chicken broth

1/2 tsp pepper

2 Tbsp brown sugar

2 - 4 Tbsp flour (more gives you a thicker consistency)

1 1/2 cup Half & Half

Sauté onion, celery and Kielbasa in the butter.  Add beans, broth, pepper and brown sugar and bring to a gentle boil.  Cover and simmer 40 minutes.  Combine flour and Half & Half, mixing until there are no lumps, then stir into the chowder, stirring until thickened.  DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL once Half & Half has been added.
