How to make Potato Kielbasa Soup

Step 1: Into a Dutch oven or soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sausage and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside.

Step 2: Into the same pot, saute the garlic, onions, carrots, and celery for about 2 minutes.

Step 3: Pour in the chicken stock and add the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, decrease the heat. Put the lid on and continue to cook for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 4: Next, add the cooked sausage along with the milk, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes over low heat or until the cheese has melted.

Step 5: Take the pot off the heat and serve the Potato Kielbasa Soup right away garnished with some parsley. Enjoy!
