I had left over pork from a pig roast and used bag-preshredded cabbage plus a little basil....oh my gosh....it took me back to my Busha's kitchen table!! Couldn't find the beef bouillon and I use ready stock base anyway so I just used it a little more concentrated...A keeper for any one with a polish grandma!

I used smoked sausage (bulk pork sausage is expensive!) and added carrots, green beans, and corn to get my kids to eat more veggies. I loved the cabbage in it!! i used a seasoning blend and chicken bouillon granules.

I've made this a few times and have found the best way was to chop everything up and throw it into the crockpot on low for about 8 hours. Instead of water and beef bouillon I substitute a 24oz can of tomato juice and add water as needed. I've also added carrots and celery for extra veggies and changed from pork sausage to leftover pork loin diced into pieces. Whatever I've added it takes well and makes a rich and flavorful soup that is great on cold, rainy days.

Delicious! Even my picky 4 year old daughter ate this. I used Turkey sausage instead of pork, and fresh marjoram (added just a few minutes before completion) but the results were wonderful. Definitely not bland, and very easy to make.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this. My only complaints are that there was very little broth for being a "soup" and it could have used a little more seasoning. Next time I will probably use spicy sausage and maybe a cup more water.

Esay, economical & yummy! I used homemade chicken broth instead of beef broth & bullion. I also added some red pepper flakes, a bay leaf, a sprinkling of caraway seeds & dried basil instead of marjoram, which I did not have on hand. Very good. We buy pork by the 1/2 directly from the farmer, and I always struggle to use up all the sausage. This recipe will help a lot!

My son and I thought this version was great, but my daughter was hoping for stir fried cabbage and kielbosa. I used chicken broth instead of the beef broth and i thought it was great. iI will definitely make this again.

I used Jimmy Dean low fat pork sausage. I think you need to use the regular sausage for the flavour of the fat. I did not have a can of beef broth and used 3 packets of bouillon granules and adjusted the water accordingly. I heated everything to a boil then dumped it all in a crockpot to simmer for 6 hrs. I also added a carrot for colour. I like my soup with a bit more zip and added a dash tabasco sauce to my bowl. Over all, a nice hearty soup.

This was fantastic! We had my son's girlfriend over and she begged me for the recipe. I used garlic sausage for extra flavour, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly (for a change) and was very happy with the results. Definitely a keeper!
