Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage (sliced)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 2 medium carrots (diced)
- 2 stalks celery (diced)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 large russet potatoes (diced)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook until lightly browned (5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- Add diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté until softened (5-7 minutes).
- Pour in chicken broth and add diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender (15-20 minutes).
- Return kielbasa to the pot. Stir in heavy cream, salt, and black pepper; heat through for 2-3 minutes without boiling.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or your favorite herbs like thyme or dill. You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version or use turkey kielbasa for a healthier alternative.
