Ingredients
Scale
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pound kielbasa
1 yellow onion (diced)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
2 carrots (peeled and cut into half-moons)
5 medium waxy potatoes (peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp dried marjoram
1 can (14 oz/400 g) white beans
5 cups chicken broth
½ cup cream cheese (at room temperature)
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp chopped dill
Instructions
Sauté the Kielbasa: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add in the sliced kielbasa. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re nicely browned.
Add Onions and Garlic: Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic right into the pot with the kielbasa. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
Mix in Carrots and Potatoes: Stir in the carrots and potatoes and let them cook for about 3-5 minutes.
Spice It Up: Sprinkle in the sweet paprika and marjoram, stirring well to coat the vegetables.
Combine with Broth and Beans: Pour in the chicken broth, adding the white beans as well. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and cover. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
Creamy Finale: Once your vegetables are tender, scoop in the cream cheese. Stir until it’s completely melted and incorporated.
Adjust Seasonings: Taste and add black pepper and salt to your liking.
Garnish and Serve: Stir in the chopped dill right before serving.
