SAUSAGE AND CABBAGE SOUP



Sausage and Cabbage Soup image

This recipe has linguica (Portuguese) sausage in it! I love cabbage and sausage soups in the winter time, think this would be delicious then. Do not use dark ale or stout....it will be too bitter...only use a light wheat beer. To make this easier, buy a bag of shredded cabbage and carrots to equal the correct amounts. Adapted from Sunset.

CABBAGE SOUP PORTUGUESE STYLE



Cabbage soup portuguese style image

Warm yourself, from the inside out, with this cabbage and chorizo hot soup!

Provided by alessandra75

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

450g of savoy cabbage, sliced
500g of potatoes, diced
380g of vegetable stock
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 piece of spicy chorizo, sliced
olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat some oil in a heavy-base pan. Add the onion and the garlic and cook until they begin to soften and turn light golden.
  • Add the potatoes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, then add the stock. Bring to the boil and cook covered for 15 minutes or until tender. Mash the potatoes.
  • Add the sliced cabbage and cook for further 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan and cook the chorizo until crispy.
  • Pour the "caldo verde" (green soup) into individual cups and scatter over the top some chorizo crispy slices.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Sausage: Opt for a flavorful Portuguese sausage, such as linguiça or chouriço, for an authentic taste.
  • Sautéing the Sausage: Before adding the sausage to the soup, sauté it in some olive oil to enhance its flavor and release its natural oils.
  • Cabbage Selection: Use fresh, crisp cabbage for the best texture and flavor. Savoy or green cabbage works well.
  • Deglazing the Pot: After removing the sausage from the pot, deglaze it with white wine to dissolve any browned bits and add depth of flavor.
  • Building the Broth: Use a combination of chicken broth and water for a flavorful base. You can also use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  • Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning to your preference. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a classic Portuguese flavor profile.
  • Cooking the Cabbage: Simmer the cabbage until it is tender but still retains a slight crunch. Overcooking can make it mushy.
  • Adding Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, celery, or potatoes for a more hearty soup.
  • Finishing Touches: Before serving, stir in some chopped parsley or cilantro for a fresh, vibrant flavor.

Conclusion:

This Portuguese sausage and cabbage soup is a delightful blend of flavors and textures that makes for a comforting and satisfying meal. Its simplicity allows the natural tastes of the ingredients to shine through, while the combination of sausage, cabbage, and broth creates a harmonious balance. Whether you're looking for a quick weeknight dinner or a hearty dish to warm you up on a chilly day, this soup is sure to become a favorite.
