Here’s How To Make My Smoky Sausage and Potato Soup
INGREDIENTS
- 6 slices uncured bacon cut into 1/4 inch pieces using kitchen scissors
- 1 sweet onion diced onion
- 1 pound kielbasa style sausages sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch curly kale or dinosaur kale taken off the stem and chopped
- 3 gold potatoes washed and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 5 cups chicken broth or chicken bone broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or 1 can coconut milk
- parmesan cheese, freshly grated optional for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large dutch oven over medium heat, add the cut up bacon and sauté for 5 minutes.
Next, add in the diced onion and sliced kielbasa sausage and continue cooking for 5 more minutes, or until everything is golden brown around the edges.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes longer.
Now add in the chopped kale and chunks of potatoes. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir everything together and mix well.
Add in the chicken broth, and simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are fork-tender, add in the heavy cream and let the soup cook for 5 minutes longer.
*I like to give the potatoes a mash with a spoon or ladle to help thicken the soup and create the perfect potato soup consistency.
Serve warm with a sprinkle of parmesan.

My husband is not a soup guy so I only make it occasionally but he LOVED this soup. Said it was the best tasting broth he’s had with the combo of homemade bone broth and the smoked paprika. Delicious recipe!
I made this soup tonight for my husband, my 6 year old and myself and it was SO good! Our house smells incredible too. It was so hearty and filling and absolutely full of flavor! My husband went back for seconds and he is not a soup fan! Adding to our recipe book for sure.
My husband said this was the best soup he’s ever had! He keeps raving about it. I shared the recipe with all my family! Plus it made the house smell so good!
SO YUMMY!!! The only changes I would make next time is to add a bit more potato, and not to add the kale until the end. The recipe says to add it with the potatoes, but that was a bit overcooked for me and I decided next time I would add it the same time I add the cream. But the flavor and seasonings were so yummy!!! We had this for dinner and the gluten free chocolate zucchini muffins for dessert. YUM!! 😋
Tasty & hearty! My husband enjoyed it too. Easy to make and perfect for a cold night. Not a fan of kale but it worked. Destem the kale is the way to go. Thank you so much for a great recipe!
