sausage soup.

my grandma made this for me for the first time years ago, and i've been making it ever since.  we actually haven't had in it quite some time so i made it today.  i remember now why we love it so much.  and it's so simple and uses very few ingredients, most of which you'll probably have on hand.  

  you need:
1 medium onion, diced 3 large carrots, peeled & chopped 1.5 lb red potatoes, cut into bite size pieces 14 oz kielbasa, sliced 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp parsley flakes 1/2 tsp thyme s & p to taste     in a large pot place a drizzle of olive oil on medium heat.  add your onions, carrots and kielbasa.  saute until crisp tender.  add your potatoes and fill the pan 3/4 full with warm water.  add your spices and bring to a boil.  once it's at a boil turn the heat down and simmer until the potatoes are tender.  enjoy!
