Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb kielbasa, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, chopped

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove kielbasa and set aside.

  3. Add carrots, celery, and cabbage, cooking for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Stir in the broth, diced tomatoes, diced potato, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  6. Add the cooked kielbasa back to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use turkey kielbasa for a lighter version.
  • This soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes for a different flavor profile.
