Description

This Creamy Bean Soup with Kielbasa is a hearty and comforting meal that’s perfect for a chilly evening! Tender beans, flavorful kielbasa, and a medley of vegetables simmer in a creamy broth, making this a satisfying and easy-to-make soup.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 rings (13 ounces each) kielbasa, sliced into 1/4-inch slices
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups (720 g) chicken broth
  • 1 cup (245 g) whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) Great Northern white beans, rinsed and drained
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown Kielbasa: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook until browned on both sides, about 7-9 minutes. Remove the kielbasa and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Melt butter in the same pot. Add the onion, carrots, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and the carrots are softened.
  3. Make a Roux: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  5. Simmer with Beans and Kielbasa: Return the browned kielbasa to the pot. Add the drained beans. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the soup has thickened, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • You can use any type of smoked sausage you like in place of kielbasa.
  • If you don’t have Great Northern beans, you can substitute cannellini beans or navy beans.
  • For a thicker soup, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot.
  • To add a bit of heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup.
