Ingredients
  

6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 large onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

2 cups kielbasa or smoked sausage, sliced

2 cups shredded carrots

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 cup sour cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In the slow cooker, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, vegetable broth, sliced kielbasa, shredded carrots, dried thyme, and smoked paprika. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.

    Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.

      Once cooked, use a potato masher to slightly mash the soup, leaving some potato chunks for texture.

        Stir in sour cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until the soup is creamy and well combined.

          Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley on top for added color and flavor.
