Description

A hearty and comforting soup made with smoked kielbasa, tender potatoes, and flavorful vegetables, perfect for a cozy meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb smoked kielbasa, sliced
  • 4 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in diced potatoes, chicken broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  6. Return kielbasa to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Remove bay leaf. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the cream.
  • Use turkey kielbasa for a lighter version.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
