While the sausage is cooking, shred half a head of cabbage into a pot that was previously used for steaming cabbage.

Chop up two small onions and add them to the pot with the cabbage.

Add seasonings including salt, black pepper, and some utility seasoning to the pot.

Pour in one jar of homemade tomato soup and stir to combine.

Scoop some broth out to rinse the tomato soup jar before adding it to the pot.

Add a second can of tomato soup to enhance the flavor and stir well.

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt if needed.

Serve the soup with an option to add cream at the table for those who like it.
