A hearty and comforting soup with smoky sausage, tender cabbage, and rustic flavors that warm you from the inside out. Perfect for chilly evenings and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 smoked sausage (kielbasa, andouille, or turkey sausage), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced thin
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, cored and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the smoked sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped cabbage and stir well to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes to slightly wilt the cabbage.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, then add the diced potatoes, paprika, bay leaf, and the cooked sausage. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Check the potatoes—they should be fork-tender. If needed, simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Let the onions, garlic, and veggies cook slowly to build flavor.’, ‘Choose a smoky sausage like kielbasa for added depth.’, ‘Cut the cabbage evenly for better texture and even cooking.’, ‘Taste the soup halfway through cooking and adjust seasoning as needed.’, ‘This soup tastes even better the next day, so feel free to make it ahead.’]
