Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • ½ cup carrots, peeled and finely diced (about 2 large carrots)
  • ½ cup celery, finely sliced (2–3 stalks)
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1½ pounds potatoes, cubed
  • 2 cups heavy cream or whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Kielbasa: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Remove kielbasa with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  2. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pot, add garlic, onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

  3. Add Potatoes and Broth: Pour in the chicken stock and add cubed potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Return the browned kielbasa to the pot. Stir in heavy cream (or whole milk), cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook over low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheeses melt and the soup is creamy.

  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cheese Variations: Try smoked gouda or Monterey Jack for added flavor.
  • Extra Veggies: Add kale or spinach in the last few minutes for a nutritious boost.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or milk if needed.
