Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or hot)
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 small cabbage about 4 cups, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 ounces, undrained
- 1 can Great Northern beans 15 ounces, drained and rinsed
- 48 ounces chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's browned. If there's a lot of grease, carefully drain most of it off.
- Add the diced onion to the pot with the sausage and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the onion has softened.
- Stir in the sliced cabbage, diced tomatoes (undrained), drained and rinsed Great Northern beans, chicken broth, oregano, basil, and thyme. Bring the soup to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, with crusty bread for dipping if desired.
Notes
This soup is even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Feel free to add other vegetables like diced carrots or celery along with the onions.
