Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces smoked beef sausage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium-sized (diced) yellow onion
- 2 medium-sized (sliced) carrots
- 2 medium-sized (sliced) celery stalks
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 medium-sized (peeled and diced) russet potatoes
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Slice the smoked beef sausage into rounds about 1/4 inch thick and set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the smoked beef sausage to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly for added flavor.
Mix in the diced potatoes, canned diced tomatoes (including their juices), and chicken broth.
Season the soup with smoked paprika, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm.
