Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 14 ounces kielbasa sausage (cut into bite sized pieces)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ medium onion (minced)
- 1 bulb fennel (thinly sliced (or 1 stalk celery, diced))
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 russet potatoes (peeled (optional) and diced)
- 2 medium carrots (peeled and diced)
- 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 4 cups bone broth or chicken stock
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups loosely packed baby spinach
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Hot sauce (to taste)
- Fresh chopped parsley (to garnish (optional))
Instructions
- Add sausage to a large stockpot and cook over medium-heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring and flipping occasionally, until the sausage is lightly browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a separate plate, and set aside.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in the pan over medium high heat. Once melted, add the onions and fennel and saute about 5 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and saute 30 seconds longer, until fragrant.
- Add the potatoes, carrots, beans, paprika, italian seasoning, broth, water and cooked sausage. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and can be pierced easily with a fork.
- If you would like a thicker soup, use a potato masher to mash up some of the potatoes and beans.
- Stir in the spinach and season with hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste. Enjoy!
