It's a dark and stormy night, and this sausage potato stew is the perfect dinner for it.

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 carrots, cut into chunks
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
375 g Polish or other smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-in. chunks
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 1/2 cups chicken broth, (made from bouillon cubes)

Instructions

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the carrot, celery, onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until the onion is beginning to soften. Add the sausage chunks, paprika, salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Now dump in the potatoes and broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover the pan, lower the heat to medium low and let simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
SPLURGE! Double the sausage if you’re feeling flush. But everything else is perfect just the way it is.
SPLURGE! Oh go ahead and use chicken breasts, if you must. And while you’re at it, double the amount of chicken. It will cost you at least an extra 75 cents a serving.
