Creamy Sausage & Cabbage Soup
Description
This soup begins by sautéing smoked sausage slices with onions in butter to build a flavorful base. Celery, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage add heartiness and texture as they're simmered in chicken broth until tender. A roux made from butter and flour is cooked separately, then combined with milk and heavy cream to create a thick, creamy consistency when added to the soup.
The addition of fresh parsley and dill brightens the overall taste, balancing the richness of the cream and sausage. The soup features a mix of tender vegetables, smoky sausage, and a creamy base that makes it filling and warming.
This dish works well for lunch or dinner during cooler months. It provides a balanced meal on its own or can be paired with crusty bread for extra substance.
