Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

In a large stockpot, combine the condensed tomato soup, water, and chunks of green cabbage. Add the diced cooked ham, sliced kielbasa sausage, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. (Approximately 20 minutes)

02

Step

2 mins

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the stew to simmer gently until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded together harmoniously. (Approximately 5-10 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider browning the kielbasa sausage in a pan before adding it to the stew.
A bay leaf or two added during simmering can enhance the depth of flavor.
Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired stew consistency. Add more for a soupier texture, or less for a thicker stew.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham and kielbasa with smoked paprika and vegetable broth for a similar smoky flavor profile.
