Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound kielbasa, sliced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups kale or spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced kielbasa to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the chopped kale or spinach, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the greens are wilted.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to heat through for about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
- Add diced carrots or celery for extra vegetables and flavor.
