Serve this hearty bean, potato, cabbage, and sausage soup with a loaf of crusty bread for a nourishing winter meal. Polish sausages, or kielbasa, can be made from many different types of meat, and can also be either smoked or raw. I prefer to use smoked beef sausages, but you may use whatever type of sausage you like. Serve with plenty of fresh dill, or extra dried dill!

Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onions chopped
10 ounces smoked polish beef sausages sliced
