Smoked Sausage, Shredded Cabbage and White Beans in a Tomato Broth

Adam had his operation this morning and it looks like soup's up until he gets his strength back.  He's weak and vulnerable - so tonight I made him a comforting Smoked Sausage, Shredded Cabbage and White Bean soup.  This soup is easy on the stomach, filling, and the Smoked Sausage makes it so good--no one would suspect that this was my "I'm sorry you needed to have surgery and I understand that you need to build your strength, so I made you this Recovery Meal."

Ingredients

* 4 sliced Mennonite Smoked Farmer's Sausage or your favorite Smoked Sausage
* 1 can of White beans- drained and rinsed
* 1-2 cups sliced Cabbage
* 1 can of Plum/Diced/Pressed Tomatoes or a container or your favorite Tomato soup
* 1-2 cups Chicken Broth 
* Favorite Spices to taste
* Fresh Parsley

Preparation

Add Sausage to Wok on medium-high heat (no oil necessary). Cook for until Sausages turn slightly golden. Add Beans. Add Tomatoes (if using whole tomatoes--make sure you crush the tomatoes in the pot). Let cook for a minute. Add Broth, Cabbage and desired Spices. You should taste as you cook. Cover with lid and simmer until cabbage is soft.  Garnish with fresh Parsley.
