This recipe has linguica (Portuguese) sausage in it! I love cabbage and sausage soups in the winter time, think this would be delicious then. Do not use dark ale or stout....it will be too bitter...only use a light wheat beer. To make this easier, buy a bag of shredded cabbage and carrots to equal the correct amounts. Adapted from Sunset.
Ingredients:
12 ounces linguica sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 onion, peeled and chopped (6 oz.)
1 large garlic clove, peeled and minced
5 cups chicken broth, fat-skimmed
1 (12 ounce) bottle wheat beer (hefeweizen)
1 lb small red potato, scrubbed and quartered (1 1/2-inch wide)
1 1/2 quarts cabbage, finely shredded (8 to 12 oz)
1 cup carrot, sliced 1/4 in. thick
1 teaspoon coriander seed
1/2 teaspoon whole allspice
1/2 teaspoon peppercorn
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
whole grain mustard
Directions:
1. In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-high heat, stir sausage often until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Spoon out and discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan.
2. Add onion and garlic to pan; stir often until limp, 3 minutes.
3. Increase heat to high. Add broth, beer, potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. Wrap and tie coriander, allspice, and peppercorns in cheesecloth; add to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender to bite, 10 to 15 minutes. Discard wrapped spices.
4. Stir in parsley. Ladle soup into bowls. Serve mustard alongside to add to taste.
