Description
One of my favorite holidays of the year is Saint Patrick’s Day. Sure I’m extremely Irish, but that’s not the only reason I love this holiday. The main reason is that I absolutely love cabbage! I would pretty much eat cabbage at every meal if I could get away with it. Some years I’ll go absolutely berserk and buy way too much cabbage. I could make more corned beef and cabbage but why not switch it up?
I began looking for different cabbage recipes and came upon this cabbage sausage soup recipe. I thought that was a perfect combination because the idea of cabbage lends itself to soup perfectly in my mind and what better ingredient to mix it with than sausage? The smokey chewy taste and consistency goes perfect together.
The recipe turned out great the first time I made it and I kept it as a Saint Patrick’s Day day after tradition ever since. I just take all the extra cabbage and now I have a new tradition.
Enjoy!
