Description

This hearty Kielbasa and Cabbage Soup is a comforting blend of savory kielbasa sausage, tender cabbage, and fresh vegetables in a flavorful broth. It’s perfect for chilly evenings and makes a satisfying meal for the whole family.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups green cabbage, chopped
  • 3 large carrots, sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Brown the Kielbasa: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sliced kielbasa over medium heat until it’s browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add Vegetables and Broth: Add the chopped cabbage, carrots, potatoes, diced tomatoes, bay leaf, and smoked paprika (if using).
  • Simmer the Soup: Pour in the broth and stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let the soup simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
  • Add Kielbasa and Seasonings: Return the kielbasa to the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it heat through for a few minutes.
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove the bay leaf, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
