Instructions:
- Brown the Kielbasa: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the kielbasa from the pot and set aside.
- Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Cauliflower and Broth: Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Stir in the smoked paprika and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Add Kielbasa and Cream: Once the cauliflower is tender, return the browned kielbasa to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
- If you’d like a thicker soup, blend a portion of the cauliflower with the broth before adding the cream and kielbasa.
