Delicious Kielbasa Soup Recipe
Warm up with a hearty bowl of Kielbasa Soup! This savory soup combines smoky sausage, tender vegetables, and flavorful spices. It’s a perfect comfort dish for any season, and it can easily be adjusted to your taste.
Ingredients
4 cups chicken broth
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra spice)
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup heavy cream (optional, for a creamy texture)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Brown the Kielbasa
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook for 5-6 minutes until it starts to turn golden brown. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Lower the heat and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
Cook the Vegetables
Add the chopped carrots and diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the vegetables to soak up the flavors.
Combine Ingredients
Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir in the paprika, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Simmer the Soup
Return the browned kielbasa to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender.
Add Cream (Optional)
If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Serve
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread.
