A hearty sausage and cabbage stew made with potatoes, simple vegetables, and broth. Affordable, filling, and easy to adapt to what you have.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 4-6 cups chicken broth

  • 2-3 potatoes, diced

  • 2 carrots, sliced

  • 2 celery ribs, sliced

  • 3 cups green cabbage, chopped

  • Bouillon, to taste, start with 2 tsps

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  • A small pinch of rosemary, optional

  • A splash of beer, optional, I add 1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Slice the smoked sausage and set it aside.
  2. In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened.
  3. Add the sausage to the pot and let it cook for a few minutes, just long enough to release some flavor and brown nicely.
  4. Stir in the potatoes, carrots, celery, and cabbage. Pour in the chicken broth. If it doesn’t cover the vegetables, you may need to add more broth or water. Boil until tender, about 20 minutes.
  5. Season with bouillon, salt, pepper, parsley, and a small pinch of rosemary if using. If you like, add a splash of beer for extra depth.
  6. Bring the stew to a simmer and let the flavors mingle for bit, about 15 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
