Instructions: Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add the cabbage. When the water returns to a boil, cook the cabbage for 1 minute and drain.

Return the cabbage to the pot along with the butter, stock or water and sausages. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 1 hour. Add the daikon and cook for 30 minutes longer.

Remove the sausages and cut into bite-sized pieces. Return to the soup, which by this point will be very thick. Pass the sour cream separately.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: This old French soup originally used potatoes instead of daikon radish. You can use zucchini instead if you prefer. The first boiling of the cabbage helps to "sweeten" it.
