Ingredients

• 1 lb sausage (Italian or smoked)
• 4 medium potatoes (gold or red)
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 medium onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Slice the carrots and celery into thin rounds. Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Return the sausage to the pot and add the cubed potatoes, chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.

Step 5

Bring the stew to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the potatoes don’t stick to the bottom of the pot.

Step 6

After 30 minutes, check that the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaves and discard them. Serve the stew hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
