Ingredients
1-1 1/2 lbs Sausage links.1/2 Head cabbage4 large potatos (Russets are best)3 medium onions1 tbsp Pepper1 tsp crushed red pepper3 tsp salt12 cups water (More or less depending on preferance and cooker size)
Directions
Boil the sausage for at least 15 mins.

As this happens, cut up the chabbage into bite-sized pieces, as well as potatoes.

Onions are chopped, but doesn't have to be fine.

Set water in slow cooker, and place in potatos first. Once sauasage is cooked till appropriate, cut that into manageable circles. Then by this time, you can add all other ingrediants, and begin slow cooking.

Usually a meal in itself, and two cup serving is used.

I suggest adding the red pepper half at a time, and checking the taste half way through cooking. It flavor's the water, and will add kick, which is yummy if done to the right heat.


Hope you enjoy this as much as we have.

    We made the recipe tonight and the flavor is great. We used 20 oz. of turkey polish sausage which added a nice smoky flavor. My advice is be careful with the pepper. I cut the black pepper from the listed 1 tbsp(tablespoon) to 1 tsp (teaspoon) [next time 1/2 tsp] and the red pepper flakes to 1/2 tsp - 3/22/09

    It's unclear how much sausage is supposed to go in this soup. The recipe seems to indicate 1 to 1.5 lbs? But the ingredients details uses 6 links, which would be less than .25 lbs. So the nutrition info is way off if you use the amount indicated. - 11/20/08

    Made this last night for dinner, it was great. I had found some Buffalo-style spicy chicken sasusage, which went great in this. - 11/14/08
