Ingredients

• 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)
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 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.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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