Best Kielbasa Sausage Soup Recipe

My family loves kielbasa sausage so we always have some in our kitchen. Often I throw it in the crockpot and make recipes like Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Cabbage, Crock Pot Kielbasa in Tomato Sauce and Slow Cooker Kielbasa, Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes but I wanted something quick to make on the stove top so I came up with this creamy and delicious Sausage and Kale Soup.

How to Make Sausage Soup On the Stove

In a soup pot, boil potatoes and carrots in chicken broth with butter, until a fork easily goes through the veggies, about 20 minutes.

Use an immersion hand blender (or regular blender) and purée half the veggies in the broth until it’s creamy.

Set the other half of the vegetables to the side (we’ll add these back to the pot later).

Add sausage, kale and salt and pepper and cook for 20 more minutes.

Now add those remaining veggies back in, stir and serve in bowls. Enjoy!

Can I make it in the slow cooker?

You can absolutely turn this into a Slow Cooker Sausage Soup! An immersion blender isn’t really needed for the slow cooker version since the veggies break down over time.

  1. Place all the ingredients (except kale) into the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
  2. Add chopped kale into the slow cooker and cook an additional 30 minutes on high or 1 hour on low. Serve.

Recipe Tips & Substitutions

  1. Don’t have kale? You can substitute other hearty greens such as cabbage, collard greens, spinach, swiss chard or mustard greens.
  2. Want some spice? Add some 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes when you add the salt and pepper.
  3. Instead of kielbasa sausage, you can also use ground Italian pork sausage or ground beef. Brown the ground meat in a frying pan, drain it and then proceed with the recipe as directed.

    I really enjoyed this but I did modify it by substituting a full head of cauliflower for the potatoes & used an entire bunch of kale. I also omitted the salt as the kielbasa had enough sodium. Topped each serving with 14 grams shredded mozzarella & tasted just like Poor Man’s Dinner. Very satisfying.
