This was really good!!! I just winged it:
3/4 ring of smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced and quartered
Saute in a 3 qt pot with:
(I threw this all in the food processor because I'm lazy):
one large onion
one stalk celery
two handfuls baby carrots
Chop and add to pot. Add a little olive oil and saute til tender, roughly 15 minutes or until you remember to check them
Add two cans of chicken broth (I used low sodium) and 4 medium sized potatoes, peeled and diced.
Add 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste), fresh ground pepper, fresh thyme, parsley and a bayleaf. Bring to a boil and simmer for 45 minutes or until potatoes are done. I mashed a few up against the side of the pot to thicken slightly. And garlic!!! I crushed a clove and chopped it in little pieces.
Ladle into bowl and add shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
First soup I ever made with taste!!! The cheese and sour cream helped and it was really good!!!
Edited to add: forgot the garlic - can't forget the garlic!!
