Using the same oil you cooked the sausage in add the onions, celery, and Poblano peppers and cook until onions are translucent. Add the garlic and heat until fragrant. Then add the potatoes and blend for a few stirs until they are hot. Add 2 C of the water and stir until water begins to bubble. Add the bouillon cube and stir until dissolved. Add the paprika, turmeric, cumin, and some salt and pepper. Then add the last C of water. Let simmer for about 20 minutes on low. Remove lid and add in a bit of cornstarch roux to thicken. Add the parsley and put the chicken sausage back in the pot. Heat through and serve.
