CZECH CABBAGE DISH
I can only attempt to spell the real name of this dish; Cabushka or something like that! My mother's father was from Czechoslovakia, and he has three sisters who are excellent cooks. I have learned to cook this dish quite happily. At our last reunion, there were three separate bowls with different versions of this same dish; they were all scraped clean!

Tips:
- Use a variety of cabbage. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of green cabbage, red cabbage, and savoy cabbage.
- Don't overcook the cabbage. You want it to be tender, but not mushy. Cook it for about 15 minutes, or until it is just tender.
- Add other vegetables to your soup. This is a great way to add more flavor and nutrition. Try adding carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or mushrooms.
- Use a good quality sausage. The sausage is one of the main ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat.
- Season your soup to taste. This soup should be flavorful, but not too salty. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, and then add more to taste.
Conclusion:
Cabbage soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile soup, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. Try adding different vegetables, meats, or spices to create your own unique version of this classic soup.
