Potato Kielbasa Soup: A Hearty and Comforting Bowl

Ingredients

Instructions:

1. Brown Kielbasa: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat on the stove. Add the sliced kielbasa and sauté until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked sausage from the pot and set it aside, leaving any drippings in the pot.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onions, chopped celery, peeled and diced carrots, and minced garlic to the same pot. Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they become tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Simmer Potatoes: Pour in the chicken broth and add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the potatoes are tender, which takes about 15 minutes.
4. Add Dairy & Cheese: Return the browned kielbasa sausage to the pot. Stir in the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheeses are melted and the soup is heated through.
5. Season and Serve: Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Enjoy this warm and hearty Potato Kielbasa Soup! It’s a satisfying meal on its own or with a side of crusty bread.
