Portuguese Bean Soup

This is a recipe from my friend Maile, I enjoyed this soup and so did others I made it for. Simple and delicious! We had it on the side of pastrami sandwiches, great dinner, Thanks Maile! Quick tip..... Use a large pot because its alot of cabbage, It does boil down but still makes a good 4 quarts.

20 oz Portuguese sausage sliced

1 large carrot chopped

2 peeled potatoes chopped

2 med onions chopped

1 quart water

1 (8oz) can tomato sauce

1 tablespoon salt

2 (15oz) cans drained kidney beans

3 pounds chopped cabbage

Directions:

Add onion and Sausage to pot and fry for 10 minutes. Add all ingredients except beans and cabbage. Bring to a boil then turn down heat and simmer for 15 minutes covered. Add beans and cabbage, simmer for 20 minutes more.
