The ingredients required for this recipe are listed below. You`ll need the following:
- 1/2 large green cabbage
- 1 large carrot

You can add additional spices if you like, but these are basically all that you`ll need to get started.
Cooking Steps:
Step #1:
Cut the onion in half and then slice it as per the picture above.
Step #2:
Put the sliced onions into a large boiler of water. The boiler should be about 3/4 full of water.

Step #4:
Slice the sausages into smaller portions (optional).

Step #9:
Boil the soup on medium-high heat for about 20 minutes or until the carrots (and potatoes if you added them) are soft.
Step #10:
Finished! ✌️😋✌️✨
Meal Pairing Recommendations:
Since this is a hot dish that can be a complete meal in itself (especially if you added potatoes) I would recommend serving it with fresh-cut french bread or bread rolls!
The soup only includes a little meat, so you could also pair it as an appetizer for a heavier meat dish such as steak or pork chops! And as usual… it always matches very well with red wine or beer!
This is a very delicious meal for a late evening and serves aound 4 ~ 5 people so have fun cooking for your family! 😉
