This Creamy Cabbage Soup is the ultimate comfort food for chilly evenings. It combines the earthy sweetness of slow-cooked cabbage with the smoky depth of hot pork sausage, all melded into a luxuriously rich milk-based broth. The texture is smooth and hearty, offering a warm hug in a bowl. It&# 226;€™s simple to prepare with pantry staples, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the unsalted butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced smoked hot pork sausage to the melted butter and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the shredded cabbage to the pot with the sausage. Stir well to coat the cabbage in the butter and sausage fat.
  4. Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the cabbage is very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Slowly stir in the milk to create a creamy broth. Heat through gently without boiling to prevent curdling.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra crispy bacon if desired.
