🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage (sliced into rounds)
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 4 medium russet potatoes (peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes)
• 4 cups green cabbage (chopped)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.

2. Add the sliced sausage to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned. Remove the sausage and set aside.

3. In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

4. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

5. Add the diced potatoes, chopped cabbage, chicken broth, water, bay leaf, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot.

6. Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

7. Add the browned sausage back to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.

8. Remove the bay leaf, taste the soup, and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

9. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
