Ingredients

- 1 bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Slice the kielbasa sausage into thin rounds and add it to the pot. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Dice the onion, slice the carrots and celery, and mince the garlic. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Stir in the smoked paprika and dried thyme, coating the vegetables evenly.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the rinsed and drained Great Northern beans, along with the bay leaf. Return the browned kielbasa sausage to the pot.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season the soup with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
