8 pieces kielbasa sausage
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 c. chopped yellow onions
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
3 Tbsp. minced garlic
6 Tbsp. flour
6 c. chicken stock
2 c. lager beer
4 sprigs thyme
2 c. cubed Gruyere cheese, plus finely grated Gruyere cheese (for garnish)
2 Tbsp. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley (garnish)
8 hot dog buns
garlic croutons

1
Saute the kielbasa until golden brown on all sides in a large, hot soup pot, about 4 minutes per side.
2
The sausage will not be cooked through.
3
It will finish cooking in the soup.
4
Remove from the pan and set aside.
5
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
6
Add the onions, salt, pepper and bay leaves; cook, stirring until the onions are slightly caramelized, 12 to 15 minutes.
7
Add the garlic and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
8
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
9
Gradually whisk in the stock and beer. Add the thyme and bring to a boil.
10
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
11
During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the kielbasa and cook until sausages are cooked through.
12
Remove the cooked sausages from the soup.
13
Add the cheese, 1/3 cup at a time, stirring until nearly all melted and smooth after each addition.
14
Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning to taste.
15
Ladle into 1 or more thermoses. Place sausages in each thermos.
16
The hot soup will keep the sausage warm until you are ready to eat it.
17
Pack a roll for the sausage as well.
18
When it is time to eat the soup, remove the kielbasa and place it on the roll; soup and a sandwich on the go!
19
Garnish with parsley, garlic croutons and finely grated cheese.
