Recipe Description

This Smoked Sausage and Vegetable Soup recipe is a great option for those evenings when you have a whole lot of leftover vegetables, chopping them up, throwing them together and boiling up a delicious, healthy and nutritious soup. I most prefer smoked turkey kielbasa sausage and my butcher has the best!

I add yellow onion, carrots, celery, yellow bell pepper, garlic, tomatoes, red potatoes, Italian seasoning, zucchini, chopped spinach and finally, shredded Parmesan cheese. Phew, it’s packed with all the best ingredients!

I really love this Smoked Sausage and Vegetable Soup especially served with crusty French bread on the side for dunking and dipping. Don’t worry if you don’t have the bread, this soup is filling in itself. If you enjoyed it, let us know and tag #cookmerecipes online!
