Step 1

Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds, and set aside.

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir in the thyme, smoked paprika, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Return the browned sausage to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
