If you prefer not to use kielbasa, try smoked turkey sausage or even a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option. Both will add a nice depth of flavor to your hearty Eastern European potato soup.

For a thicker consistency, you can blend a portion of the soup using an immersion blender. Alternatively, you can add a bit more cream or even a cornstarch slurry to achieve your desired thickness.

Yes! This recipe is naturally gluten-free, as it uses potatoes and broth without any flour. Just double-check your broth label to ensure it’s gluten-free.

Can I freeze Polish potato soup?

Yes, you can freeze it! However, the cream may separate when thawed. To avoid this, consider adding the cream after reheating the soup. It will keep well in the freezer for up to three months.
