Description

Kielbasa Potato Soup is a rich and hearty one-pot meal featuring smoky kielbasa sausage, tender potatoes, and a creamy broth—perfect for a cozy and satisfying dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 14 oz kielbasa sausage, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add potatoes, carrots, chicken broth, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  4. Stir in milk and sour cream. Return kielbasa to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
  5. Adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use smoked kielbasa for extra flavor.
  • You can substitute heavy cream for milk for a richer soup.
  • This soup pairs well with crusty bread for a complete meal.
