(From Our October 2020 Newsletter -Grandma C.)

Ingredients

1. 1 yellow onion, diced


2. ½ lb beef smoked sausage or kielbasa


3. 1 TBSP butter or margarine


4. 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced


5. 2 carrots, grated


6. 2 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed


7. 3 cups cabbage, chopped


8. 4 cups beef broth


9. 1 can petite diced tomatoes (do not drain)


10. 2 cups water


11. 1 tsp Italian seasoning


12. 1 tsp dried parsley


13. 1 bay leaf


14. 1 tsp garlic powder


15. 1-2 TBSP cornstarch


16. Salt and Pepper

Saute` onion, butter, celery and sausage in the bottom of the soup pot.  If using kielbasa*, skip the butter as kielbasa has its own oil.  Saute` for approximately 5 minutes.

Add broth and water and bring to a boil.  Add potatoes, cabbage, carrots and seasonings.  Reduce to medium–low heat and simmer 15-20 minutes.

Add diced tomatoes.  Mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water and stir into the soup.

Salt and pepper to taste.  Let simmer another 5 minutes to thicken and remove from heat.

Serve with a sliced baguette or some garlic toast!
