Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot over medium heat, add sliced kielbasa, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining butter, onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, then stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flavor.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and add diced potatoes. Season with paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the sautéed kielbasa and heavy cream, simmer for an additional 5 minutes until flavors meld.
  6. Ladle into bowls and enjoy with crusty bread.
