Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 large carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large green cabbage, roughly chopped
• 14 ounces smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced into thin rounds
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon crushed caraway seeds
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon paste (or 2 bouillon cubes)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and lightly translucent.
2. Stir in the diced carrots and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes so the vegetables begin to soften and develop flavor.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant.
4. Mix in the chopped cabbage and cook for roughly 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to wilt slightly.
5. Add the sliced kielbasa along with the dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and crushed caraway seeds. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well so the vegetables and sausage are lightly coated. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
6. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring, then mix in the chicken bouillon base. Drop in the bay leaf and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
7. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and allow the soup to simmer for about 30 minutes so the flavors meld and the vegetables become tender.
8. Pour in the heavy cream and warm the soup through over low heat. Avoid letting it boil once the cream is added.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove and discard the bay leaf before serving.
10. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a bright finish.

Tip: This soup develops even deeper flavor after resting overnight, making leftovers especially delicious the next day.
