Instructions
 

  • Heat your stock pot and add the oil; cook the sausage until browned.
  • Removed the sausage with a slotted spoon and add the flour. Stir together and cook the flour takes on some tan to brown color - we're going after another level of flavor with the roux, not necessarily to thicken the soup.
  • Add the onion, carrots, & celery to the roux; cook until soft. Add the garlic & cabbage and cook until the cabbage is wilted.
  • Add the stock, potatoes, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, and then down to a simmer. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes and cabbage are done.
  • Taste and adjust for seasonings.
  • Add the sour cream and stir until evenly mixed.
