The Best Potato-Sausage-Cabbage Soup image

My mom has cooked this as long as I can remember- I don't know where the recipe started. She sent me to college with the recipe and after 15 years I've not been able to top it. Recipe requests come after every serving. It is even better the second day, but it normally doesn't last that long in our house! A perfect comfort food!

Categories     Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 bowls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb roll Bob Evans sausage
2 celery ribs
1/3 head cabbage
1 onion
7 cups water (see note below!)
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon
1 (2 lb) bag of square cut hash browns
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Brown the sausage in a large skillet.
  • Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and leave drippings and browned bits in the pan.
  • Chop celery, cabbage and onion. Cook in the grease from the sausage until soft (10-15 minutes).
  • Transfer the cooked sausage and cabbage mixture to a large soup kettle.
  • Add the water, chicken bouillon and hash browns and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
  • Mix the milk, sour cream and flour in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Add the milk mixture to the soup and simmer 10 more minutes.
  • **My Mom's original recipe called for 5 cups of water and that never seemed to be enough when I made it. If you stick between 5-7 cups you can make the soup as thick or thin as you would like. Well, maybe not thin! Making this soup thin and brothy would be a crime!

The soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. I would also recommend using a different type of sausage, such as a spicy sausage, to give the soup more flavor.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used chicken sausage instead of pork sausage and it was still great. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup was absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The cabbage was tender, the sausage was flavorful, and the potatoes were cooked just right. I will definitely be making this soup again.
