Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz smoked sausage (such as kielbasa)
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Fresh parsley (optional)

Method
 

  1. Brown the sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery in the same pot until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook 30 seconds more.
  3. Add the broth, potatoes, and browned sausage. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in the heavy cream, adjust seasoning, and ladle into bowls. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

This soup thickens as it rests. Reheat gently with a splash of broth to bring it back to the right consistency. For a spicier version, swap the smoked sausage for hot Italian sausage and crumble it while cooking.
