Chicken Sausage, Cabbage and Pasta Soup – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Everyone needs a chicken soup recipe to make after a long weekend made with simple ingredients that they can just put together with ease.  This Chicken Sausage, Cabbage and Pasta Soup is just that — deliciously simple, heart-warming and packed with tasty things.

As the weekend winds down this soup comes in handy and most of us probably have a half a head of cabbage, some cooked chicken, pork or other meat sausage, and short dried pasta in our pantries this time of year.  The joy of making a soup like this is that it’s done in 20 minutes or so, and you have a big pot of steamy goodness to enjoy for dinner.

I like to serve this soup with a big rustic roll, but anything that’s worth dunking into a silky broth that might catch some bits of cabbage on its way in is all you need.  The sliced sausage softens in the soup and becomes part of the aromatics, along with a hunk of parmesan rind for flavor.  If you don’t have parmesan rinds reserved for soup in your freezer, you can add a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese to heighten taste.
