Sausage and Vegetable Soup is flavorful, delicious way to eat tons of veggies at once (it’s got potatoes, bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, spinach and more)! And finally a meaty vegetable soup. It’s loaded with turkey kielbasa sausage and it’s sure to satisfy!

Sausage Soup with Veggies

This winter I’ve been making so many vegetable soups.

From this Vegetable Chili, to Mexican Lentil Soup, to Creamy Tortellini Minestrone and Gnocchi Vegetable Soup with Pesto. Oh and Let’s not forget this Super Easy Cauliflower Vegetable Soup.

So vegetable soups have totally been my thing this season.

But I think it’s about time I made one of them meaty. We’ve loved the others but it’s nice to have some meat to change things up with flavor.

And yes indeed does that smoked sausage bring flavor!

Ingredients for This Soup

  • Olive oil
  • Kielbasa sausage
  • Veggies including onion, carrots, celery, yellow bell pepper, garlic, potatoes, zucchini and spinach
  • Low-sodium chicken broth
  • Canned petite diced tomatoes
  • Dried Italian seasoning and fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Finely shredded parmesan, for serving (optional)

How to Make Sausage Veggie Soup

  • Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add in sausage and let brown about 2 minutes then toss and let cook 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate while leaving remaining oil in pan (should be about 1 Tbsp).
  • Add another 1 Tbsp olive oil, then add onions, carrots and celery. Saute 3 minutes.
  • Add bell pepper and garlic and saute 2 minutes longer.
  • Pour in broth, tomatoes, potatoes, Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in sausage. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in zucchini and cook 10 minutes longer, or until veggies are tender.
  • Stir in spinach and parsley and let warm through. Serve warm with parmesan cheese if desired.

A Healthier Comfort Food

This is total comfort food – made healthier! I used turkey kielbasa sausage but feel free to use a beef/pork kielbasa if you’d rather.

And add some parmesan for more flavor, not a must but you can’t go wrong with a little parmesan!

Then feel free to swap out some of the veggies listed here with some you may already have on hand like cabbage, butternut squash and so forth.
