Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1 lb Spicy Italian Sausage Provides protein and savory flavor; swap with sweet Italian sausage for a milder taste.
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil Ideal for sautéing; can be substituted with olive oil for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion Adds sweetness and depth; red onion can be used for a sharper, more vibrant taste.
  • 2 stalks Celery Contributes to the base flavor; feel free to leave it out if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Infuses the soup with aromatic flavor; can adjust the amount based on your preference for garlic.
  • 1 medium Green Cabbage The star of the dish, providing bulk and fiber; savoy cabbage is a milder alternative.
  • 4 cups Chicken Bone Broth Adds richness; use low-sodium for a healthier option or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt Enhances the overall flavor; adjust to your taste preferences.
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper Adds a hint of heat; optional for a milder soup experience.
  • 0.5 tsp Red Pepper Flakes For a kick of heat; adjust according to your spice tolerance or omit entirely.
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley For a touch of freshness as a garnish; can substitute with chives or skip if desired.

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of spicy Italian sausage, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and no longer pink.
  2. Without draining the fat, add 1 diced medium yellow onion and 2 chopped celery stalks to the pot. Sauté these ingredients for approximately 5 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
  3. Next, add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Then, add 1 chopped medium green cabbage, 4 cups of chicken bone broth, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Once the cabbage is tender, uncover the pot and stir in 1 can of full-fat coconut milk.
  6. Allow the soup to simmer uncovered for an extra 5 minutes, then taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish each serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
