POLISH SAUSAGE POTATO SOUP RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Melt butter and add olive oil to pan over medium high heat. Slice sausage on diagonal and add to pan in batches. Cook until browned with a nice crust (not too dark). Remove browned sausage from pan and set aside. Chop onion, leek (be sure to clean well to remove grit), celery and carrots and add to pan used to cook sausage. Season with salt and pepper and cook until vegetables are soft. Add flour and cook briefly. Add chicken stock and remaining spices and stir well. Bring to a boil add sliced, peeled potatoes, return to a boil and reduce to simmer until potatoes are cooked and falling apart. To make soup creamier, take part of soup and whirr in a food processor or use a hand blender. Leave some of the potatoes chunky for texture. Add cooked sausage and cheese if desired. Season to taste.

SLOW COOKED POLISH SAUSAGE, CABBAGE AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Wash and dice the potatoes (no need to peel unless it's how you prefer them) and place them at the bottom of the slow cooker/crock pot. Two small potatoes approximately 450g total weight.
• Slice the sausage length ways and then cut into slices. I personally slice them in half again so the pieces are roughly the same size (or slightly larger) than the diced potato. Put the sausage on top of the potatoes in the pot.
• Finely dice the onion and add that on top of the sausage.
• Chop the cabbage and add that on top of the onion.
• Season with garlic, parsley and plenty of cracked black pepper. Don't add salt as the amount of salt coming from the sausage can vary.
• Prepare the chicken stock to make up 1 litre (the stock cubes I use are 1 cube per 500ml so I mix two) and pour the stock over the other ingredients. Again, I use reduced salt stock cubes. You can always add more salt later.
• Cook on high for 6 hours, medium for 8 hours or low for 10 hours (based on Morphy Richards slow cooker). Stir half way through to ensure everything gets a good 'submerging' or if you can't then closer to the finish time is fine.
