A hearty and flavorful soup combining sausage, cabbage, and potatoes, perfect for a comforting meal.
Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through.
Ensure the sausage is evenly browned for maximum flavor.
Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
The drippings will add flavor to the vegetables.
Chop the celery, cabbage, onion, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Uniformly sized pieces ensure even cooking.
Sauté the celery, cabbage, and onion in the sausage drippings until softened, about 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Transfer the cooked sausage and vegetables to a large soup pot.
Use a pot large enough to hold all ingredients comfortably.
Add the chicken broth and potatoes to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, and flour until smooth.
Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.
Stir the cream mixture into the soup and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Stir continuously to prevent curdling.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
