Instead of using a bouillon cube and water, use low sodium (or, better, unsalted) chicken broth (homemade, if you've got it). It tastes way better and isn't as loaded with sodium. Also, instead of kielbasa, use smoked turkey legs or smoked hamhocks (both of which have more than enough salt in them anyway). You can also add celery along with the onion, carrot and garlic. Mmmmm....just like Mom never made.
