Ingredients

• 12 ounces kielbasa sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup small pasta (e.g., ditalini or elbow)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa sausage into thin rounds.

Step 2

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced kielbasa and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced carrot, celery, and yellow onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well. Return the browned kielbasa to the pot.

Step 7

Simmer the soup on low heat for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Add the pasta to the soup and cook until it is tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in the chopped parsley right before serving.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
