Notes

  • For a spicier kick, consider using Andouille sausage instead of traditional kielbasa.
  • Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes provide a creamy texture, while red potatoes offer a firmer bite.
  • Adding smoked paprika can enhance the soup's smoky flavor.
  • Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a touch of color and freshness to the dish
