Smoked Sausage and Cabbage Soup - So hearty and full of smoked sausage and healthy veggies!

This soup was inspired by a craving for cabbage and hot cozy soup (although it’s spring it’s still cold outside here).  You’ll definitely need some crusty French bread to soak up the amazing broth… it’s just bursting with flavor!

The cabbage does need to simmer a while for it get tender, but once you get everything in the pot it’s basically on autopilot after that.

Did I mention how awesome it smells while simmering?!  It’s perfectly seasoned with oregano, thyme and garlic.  I used beef broth but you can also use chicken broth in this recipe.

It also reheats well and makes a great lunch for work the next day.  Enjoy!

    This soup will surprise you with it’s complex flavor since it is so simple to make. It’s the best soup I’ve ever made and I can’t wait to eat the leftovers.

    This was delicious. Made it last night. Didn’t have thyme but added caraway seed’s and basil along with the garlic and oregano. Used salsa instead of tomato’s. Everyone had seconds. Will definitely make again.

    I’m looking forward to trying this soup, on tge stove now. Would you think it would be good if i added elbow macaroni? Have you tried that?

      Hi Melanie, No I haven’t tried it with macaroni but it sounds good… I would definitely increase the amount of chicken broth since the macaroni will absorb it while cooking, but I can’t say how much because I’ve never made this with any type of pasta. Hope you enjoyed it! 🙂

    This soup was so good. I used red cabbage and fire roasted diced tomatoes in mine. And 2 cups chicken stock and 2 cup beef broth. I highly recommend trying it

    Made this again last night. The first time I didn’t have the tomatoes or thyme. Had all needed to follow recipe exactly and WOW!!! The taste was so much better. Don’t need to change a thing. Will be making this again and again. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

    I’ve been making this soup for years. It’s my favorite. I boil it on the stove but have also done in a pressure cooker. Only takes 20 min. I also add potato chunks and a splash of white vinegar when it’s done. Gives it a little sour kick that complements the soup perfectly.

    If made in the crockpot, how long will it need to cook?

      Hi Tiffany, I can’t say with certainty because I haven’t tested this recipe in the crock pot. Let us know how it turns out if you try it! 🙂

    This soup sounds wonderful. I have an abundance of Napa cabbage from my garden. Would this work in this soup or do you have similar soup recipes using Napa Cabbage… Thanks

      Hi Connie, I’ve never made this soup with Napa cabbage so I can’t say with certainty… let us know how it turns out if you try it! 🙂
