Directions

Makes approximately 24 servings serving size = 1 cup

Prep the onions, celery, garlic, carrots and cabbage.

Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium high heat, do not use any oil or oil spray as you want to blacken the sausage. While pan is heating, cut sausage links into 1/4" thick slices and place in hot skillet. Do not turn the slices until they have blackened on one side and then turn to blacken the opposite side. Once blackened, remove from pan and set aside to put in soup later.

In large the same skillet add onions. Stir for about 2 to 3 minutes and then add celery, carrots and 1/2 cup of chicken broth to keep everything from sticking, let simmer for a few minutes. Continue to stir for about another 2 to 3 minutes until onions are translucent. Add garlic, crushed red peppers, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, basil and thyme. Add the can of dark red kidney beans, green beans, diced tomatoes, V8 juice and chicken broth. Do not drain the fluid off of the canned beans or vegetables as it helps to add flavor and thickness to the soup. Add blackened sausage, worcheshire and creole seasoning. Add cabbage and stir until everything is mixed thoroughly. Put lid on the soup and let it cook on a medium to medium low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, until the cabbage is cooked to the desired texture.
