Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
For an even richer flavor, try using smoked sausage instead of kielbasa.
If you prefer a spicier stew, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeño along with the other spices.
