Soup Ingredients
  • 14 oz Kielbasa sausage Sliced on a diagonal
  • 1.5 lbs Yellow potatoes Peeled and diced
  • 1 medium Yellow onion Diced
  • 2 medium Orange carrots Peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks Green celery Diced
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 4 cups Chicken broth Low sodium preferred
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt Plus more to taste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh green dill Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Cracked black pepper

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-Bottomed Dutch Oven Essential for searing sausage and simmering the soup evenly.
  • 1 Chef's Knife For uniformly dicing vegetables and slicing sausage on a diagonal.

Method
 

Soup Preparation
  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add diagonal-sliced kielbasa in a single layer. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply browned with charred edges. Remove sausage to a plate, leaving drippings in the pot.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/4 cup unsalted butter to the pot. Add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Season with 1 tsp kosher salt and sauté for 6-8 minutes until onions are translucent.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the vegetables. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Slowly whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Add diced yellow potatoes. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and the seared kielbasa. Heat gently for 3-5 minutes until the broth thickens into an opaque pale yellow cream. Remove from heat immediately. Garnish with chopped dill and cracked black pepper.

Notes

Do not boil after adding heavy cream to prevent curdling.
For a thicker broth, mash a few of the soft-boiled potatoes against the side of the pot before serving.
