Rustic Wagyu & Sausage Soup

Rich broth, tender wagyu, hearty and homemade — seared beef and smoked sausage simmered with vegetables and smoked paprika.

Ingredients

• 8 oz wagyu steak, sliced
• 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 potato, diced (optional)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp thyme
• Salt & black pepper
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, sear the wagyu slices until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the sausage and cook until golden.
3. Add the onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and soft.
4. Stir in the carrots, celery, and potato. Cook for 5 minutes.
5. Pour in the beef and chicken broth. Add the paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30–40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld.
7. Return the wagyu to the pot and simmer for 5–10 minutes.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

This soup is even better the next day — let it rest, and the flavors deepen beautifully. Serve with crusty bread and good company.
