Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 medium carrots
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 large leeks
- 2 pieces celery stalks
- 14 ounces smoked sausage (e.g., kielbasa or bratwurst)
- 1 cup green beans
- 15 ounces canned white beans (drained and rinsed)
- 6 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Peel and dice the onion and garlic. Add them to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Peel and slice the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Slice the leek into rounds and chop the celery. Add the vegetables to the pot and stir.
Cut the smoked sausage into thick slices and add it to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, letting the sausage release its flavors.
Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the green beans and canned white beans to the pot. Stir well and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread for a complete meal.
