Not too spicy, warm and healthy. Skip the sausage, add canned beans, and use vegetable stock to make it vegetarian. Serve with sourdough bread and more salsa as desired.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 leeks, halved and thinly sliced

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 stalks celery, diced

  • 3 carrots, diced

  • 1 small head cabbage, and thinly sliced

  • 3 cups water

  • 1 cup salsa

  • ⅓ cup ketchup

  • 4 cubes chicken bouillon

  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®), or more to taste

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ pound smoked sausage, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Heat butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir leeks, onion, and garlic until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes. Add cabbage; cook and stir until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.

  2. Mix water, salsa, ketchup, bouillon cubes, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper into vegetable mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors blend in soup, 20 minutes. Add sausage to soup and simmer until cooked through, about 20 minutes more.

Cook's Note:

Add canned green beans, bells peppers, or canned tomatoes with green chiles as desired.

Beef bouillon cubes can used in place of chicken bouillon cubes.
