Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Brown the Kielbasa: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the kielbasa from the pot and set it aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are softened.
  • Add Potatoes and Broth: Add the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Blend Part of the Soup (Optional): For a thicker texture, use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup directly in the pot or transfer about one cup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
  • Add Milk and Seasonings: Stir in the whole milk or heavy cream, followed by the dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Add Kielbasa and Greens: Return the browned kielbasa to the pot. If using, add the chopped spinach or kale and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted.

Notes

  • Adjust the seasoning based on your preference.
  • Feel free to use low-fat milk for a lighter version.
