Potato Kielbasa Soup: A Warm and Filling Bowl
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Chicken broth | 4 cups |
| Kielbasa, sliced | 1 lb |
| Shredded Parmesan | ½ cup |
| Minced garlic | 2 tsp |
| Potatoes, cubed | 1 ½ lbs |
| Olive oil | 1 Tbsp |
| Milk | 2 cups |
| Onion, diced | ½ cup |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 2 cups |
| Celery, chopped | ½ cup |
| Parsley, chopped | ¼ cup |
| Carrots, peeled & diced | ½ cup |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
Instructions:
- Cook Kielbasa: Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook until browned and heated through. Remove from pot and set aside, keeping the drippings.
- Cook Vegetables: Add diced onion, celery, carrots, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté, stirring now and then, until softened—about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Simmer Potatoes: Pour in the chicken broth, then add the cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, roughly 15 minutes.
- Add Dairy & Cheese: Return kielbasa to the pot. Stir in milk, shredded cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cheese melts and the soup is heated through.
- Season & Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Enjoy this comforting Potato Kielbasa Soup on its own or alongside some crusty bread for a complete meal.
