Ingredients

• 1 large head Green cabbage
• 1 pound Smoked sausage
• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 medium Carrots
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 small Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: Core and quarter the cabbage, and then roughly chop it into large chunks. Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch rounds. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the sliced sausage to the pot. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 6

Add the potatoes, carrots, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir the mixture well, ensuring the spices coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the vegetables simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Add the chopped cabbage to the pot and stir to combine. Cover the pot again and let it continue to simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage and potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Return the browned sausage to the pot, stirring to incorporate it into the vegetable mixture. Let the dish simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Once satisfied with the flavor, remove the pot from the heat.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or as is for a comforting, complete meal.
