Bean Cabbage Soup image

I used to love my Italian grandmother's homemade minestrone. She was very particular about ingredients and where she bought them. Since I cook for only my husband and myself, I have simplified her recipe and cut down on the amounts. If I do say so myself, it's almost as good as Nonna Teresa's.

I'm not usually a fan of cabbage soup, but this recipe was a game-changer. The beans and sausage added a delicious heartiness, and the cabbage was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be making this again!
