Sausage and Cabbage Soup

A tasty soup for the whole family that comes together quickly and easily. If you're not sure what to feed the kids, this hearty soup with frankfurters is a great option. I used cooked mild frankfurters, but you can swap in any kind your child likes best — smoked sausage, for example. You can also use larger sausages in place of the franks.

Cooking method

Step 1:

Get your ingredients ready. For this tomato soup with cabbage and frankfurters you'll need: water, broth, potatoes, frankfurters, cabbage, tomato paste, garlic, vegetable oil for frying, table vinegar, ground black pepper, and salt.

Slice the frankfurters into rounds.
Step 3:

Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium cubes.

Step 11:

Cover the pot and let the soup rest for 10–12 minutes.
Step 12:

Then ladle the soup into bowls. Enjoy!

Out of all the sausage soup recipes out there, I like this one because it brings together everything my family loves. The cabbage makes it reminiscent of shchi (Russian cabbage soup), and the frankfurters make it filling. You can add other vegetables, too — bell pepper or carrot. Stir some chopped parsley or dill into the finished soup. When buying frankfurters, check the label: good-quality franks should contain pork, beef, water, eggs (or egg melange), whole or skim milk powder, salt, sugar, and spices (black pepper, allspice, nutmeg, or cardamom). That's it — there shouldn't be any other additives.
