Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound smoked sausage (such as kielbasa or andouille)
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 medium garlic cloves
• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil.

Step 2

Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Add them to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove the sausage using a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

While the sausage cooks, dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.

Step 5

Meanwhile, core and roughly chop the cabbage into 1-2 inch pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.

Step 6

Add the chopped cabbage to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the cabbage to wilt slightly.

Step 7

Return the sausage to the pot along with the diced potatoes. Pour in the chicken broth.

Step 8

Stir in the dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the stew to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Step 9

Simmer the stew for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the stew before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with crusty bread or as is for a warm, filling meal.
