Cabbage soup with smoked sausage

Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the tough core. Cut the cabbage into strips 2 cm wide and long enough for the pieces to fit on a spoon. Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and slice the garlic.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 50 g of butter, add the onion and let it soften. Add the cabbage and garlic and sauté for half a minute, stirring constantly. Add the flour. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour in the broth and mix. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat to less than a third, and cook uncovered for 18 minutes.

Peel the sausage and cut it into thin slices. In a pan over high heat, melt the remaining butter and sauté the sausage. Add it to the soup, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for another 2 minutes.
