Top tips
- Storing: Store the soup in the refrigerator and reheat it the next day. Don't boil it for too long so the cabbage retains as much crunch as possible.
- Sausage type: For this soup, my favorite sausage is kielbasa, a Polish beef sausage, but it works very well with longaniza, or any mild beef or pork sausage.
- Broths: You can use chicken broth if you have it on hand.
- Lighter version: For a lighter version, you can substitute the beef sausage for chicken or turkey sausage and omit the heavy cream.
Serving suggestions
To make this a complete meal, you can serve it with some rustic bread or a baguette.
