Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz kielbasa sausage
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 large celery stalks
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 15-oz cans canned cannellini beans
- 1 14.5-oz can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa into 1/4-inch rounds. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the kielbasa until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Dice the onion, carrots, and celery, and mince the garlic. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring it deglazes the bottom of the pot by scraping up any browned bits, as they add flavor.
Drain and rinse the cannellini beans. Add the beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), browned kielbasa, thyme, oregano, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove and discard the bay leaves. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal. Enjoy!
