Italian Sausage Soup with Cabbage

February 15, 2016

You ever buy food just because its on sale? {of course you do!} We all do because we all like saving money or getting something at a discount.

Yesterday Harris Teeter had their Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage links on sale! Buy One get One Free.

I tell you, I tend to go nuts when I see that… Buy 1 Get 1.. FREE?! This is why Harris Teeter is so dangerous to me. They not only have wonderful BOGO sales, but sometimes…they even have buy TWO get THREE FREE deals and then its all over and I’ve got a freezer packed full of ice cream. {this is why I workout… BECAUSE of Harris Teeter Ice Cream deals.}

Well anyway, so I picked up the sausage, not really knowing what I was going to make with it, but its SAUSAGE and I could do just about anything with it…chili or spaghetti or hoagies.. but I settled on soup.

This is what I call one of my {kitchen sink} soups. I don’t always follow a recipe, I just look at what I have and start throwing stuff together.. for this one I had Kris pick up a few things from the store, but most I had handy. The great thing with this kind of broth based soup is its so easy to swap out different vegetables or meat.

Try Kale, Bok Choy or Spinach instead of Cabbage. Green beans, peas or zucchini instead of carrots and potatoes.. Or ground beef, turkey sausage, ground chicken instead of Italian sausage. Really, you can go places with this soup.

The one thing that stays true… is that its fabulous.

Italian Sausage Soup with Cabbage

Ingredients

  1. 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  2. 2 lbs. Mild Italian Sausage Links, casings removed
  3. 1 head of Cabbage, chopped (avoid the middle hard white parts)
  4. 5-6 carrots, peeled & sliced
  5. 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  6. 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  7. 2 cans whole potatoes, drained & sliced
  8. 1 can Mild Rotel
  9. 2 cans Great Northern Beans, rinsed & drained
  10. 1 quart beef stock
  11. 3 beef bouillon cubes
  12. 4 cups water
  13. Salt & Pepper to taste
  14. 1 tsp. Basil
  15. 1/2 tsp. Rosemary
  16. 1 tsp. Thyme

Instructions

  1. In a large deep pot, add olive oil, onions, and garlic. Let that sizzle until aromatic. Add the Italian sausage, casing removed, and start to break the meat into pieces with a wooden spoon. Stir and cook until meat is no longer pink.
  2. Drain the meat & onions of grease and return to the pot. Add carrots, cabbage, beef stock, water and bouillon. Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add herbs, potatoes, Rotel & beans and let simmer for about 15 minutes until the carrots and cabbage is tender. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  4. Serve with crusty bread or crackers.
