Do you have a personally tested sausage cabbage soup recipe you can share?

Asked by marinelife (62485points) November 4th, 2009

I have red cabbage, and I have sausage (bratwurst-type). I am thinking soup.

Have you got a favorite recipe?

Honestly, that sounds disgusting.

I agree
Sausages?!

@erichw1504 I am sorry you have such limited culinary experience and taste. It is among other things a Portuguese classic. Also, why bother answering when you have noting valid or interesting to add to the discussion?

I have used this recipe I found online
One Red Cabbage , well washed and shredded.
Two potatoes, pealed and diced.
One onion, finely chopped.
Hot water (according to quantity of cabbage)
Butter
Salt & Pepper for seasoning
Sour cream

Drop the butter in a heated pot, and add the onion and stir until glossy and tender.
Add the cabbage and stir well, cook until cabbage is soft.
Add water until it covers the tip top of the cabbage, and add the potato cubes.
Add salt and be a bit generous with the pepper.
Cover, and cook on low fire until the whole soup looks soupy, and the potatoes are done.

Serve with drizzles of sour cream.

@PretentiousArtist What kind of sausages would you use, and when would you add them? Would you brown them first? Would you use linguica?

Bierocks (German cabbage rolls) are on my list of recipes to try, you could probably substitute the hamburger meat with sausage (crumbled or diced depending on the sausage), in fact I bet it would be tastier with sausage.

Even though I don’t eat sausages anymore (am vegan now), I would probably go for dried Chorizos. Never had Linguicas.

My aunt sometimes makes corned beef and serves it with cabbage with potatoes boiled in chicken stock or beef stock. (I think there are onions in there, too.) It sounds gross but the cabbage becomes sooo tender and flaborful. YUM. One of my college friends makes mashed potatoes and cabbage, which just reminds me of greenish mashed potatoes. I don’t really get the appeal.
My favorite way to cook bratwurst is boiling them in beer and then grilling them until the outside is just a little bit charred. Then drink the other beer that you didn’t use for boiling. You could make the cabbage into coleslaw.
Um… sorry I don’t really have cabbage soup ideas.

@Haleth mashed potatoes and cabbage is an Irish classic called Colcannon.

Really? Maybe my friend was just a bad cook. It sounds really good in the link.

@Marina thanks so much for the link. That sounds irresistible.

marinelife's avatar

@pdworkin De nada. It actualy sounded good to me too. Maybe I should eschew the sausage, and try that for supper.

2 big bottles Spicy V-8 juice
1 large can chicken broth
1 large onion, chopped
2 bags mixed vegetables
1 bag chopped okra
½ head cabbage chopped, or 1 bag cole slaw
1 package Polish sausage, sliced
2 tablespoons oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons chili powder
Optional to make hot&sour cabbage soup:
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Put everything in a pot, simmer on medium for about 1–½ hours. You can replace the okra with more cabbage if you’d like.
