Kielbasa and Cabbage Soup Recipe

This soup comes together in about 30 minutes, making it an easy yet satisfying meal for any night of the week.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb kielbasa, sliced
  • 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 6 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes (14-15 oz)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Kielbasa:
    In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the sliced kielbasa over medium heat until slightly browned. This adds a smoky depth to the soup.
  2. Cook the Aromatics:
    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Stir and cook until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the Cabbage:
    Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it starts to wilt.
  4. Combine the Ingredients:
    Pour in the chicken broth and add the can of diced tomatoes (including the juice). Stir well to combine.
  5. Season and Simmer:
    Add the paprika, along with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Pair it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.

Tips for the Best Kielbasa and Cabbage Soup

  • Boost the Smokiness: Use smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Add Veggies: Throw in carrots, celery, or potatoes for additional texture and nutrients.
  • Make It Creamy: Stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream for a richer broth.
