Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons oil
1 large onion chopped
1 cabbage head quartered, cored, and roughly diced
1 can crushed tomatoes with added puree - (28 oz)
1 can beef broth - (14 1/2 oz)
1 can low-sodium chicken broth - (14 1/2 oz)
1/4 cup light brown sugar - (packed)
2 teaspoons sweet Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon salt
freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
1 pound smoked beef kielbasa sausage split lengthwise, and cut in 1/2" thick slices
1 can tomato soup - (10 3/4 oz)
3 tablespoons lemon juice - (to 5)
2 tablespoons minced Italian parsley (optional garnish) (or snipped chives)

Steps:

Heat the oil in a 4-quart pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, crushed tomatoes, beef and chicken broths, sugar, paprika, red pepper flakes, allspice, salt, pepper to taste and the water. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Add the sausage and tomato soup. Simmer 10 minutes longer. (This can be made 2 days ahead and refrigerated or frozen up to 1 month. To serve, gently reheat until hot. Add more water if the soup is too thick.) Stir in 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Taste; adjust the lemon juice and seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with parsley or chives, if using. This recipe yields 6 main-course servings.
