Cabbage and White Bean Soup with Sausage

This cabbage and white bean soup with sausage is a wonderfully comforting and nutritional dish, perfect for those seeking a filling yet healthy meal. The combination of sweet leeks, tender cabbage, and earthy cannellini beans creates a rich, savoury base that pairs beautifully with the subtle sweetness of chicken and apple sausages. It is a vibrant, one-pot supper that fills the kitchen with the festive aroma of fresh rosemary and parsley.

As a high-protein option, this soup is an excellent choice for a weekday dinner or a restorative weekend lunch. The addition of fibre-rich beans and plenty of root vegetables makes it both satisfying and wholesome. Serve it with a slice of crusty sourdough to soak up the flavourful broth, or enjoy it on its own as a light, protein-packed bowl of goodness.
