Ingredients

• 14 oz kielbasa sausage
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 large celery stalks
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 15-oz cans canned cannellini beans
• 1 14.5-oz can canned diced tomatoes
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa into 1/4-inch rounds. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the kielbasa until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the onion, carrots, and celery, and mince the garlic. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring it deglazes the bottom of the pot by scraping up any browned bits, as they add flavor.

Step 4

Drain and rinse the cannellini beans. Add the beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), browned kielbasa, thyme, oregano, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Remove and discard the bay leaves. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal. Enjoy!
