• Add the cabbage to the pot and cook, covered, stirring regularly to prevent burning, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the kielbasa and mustard and then add the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until the carrots are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

BRATWURST, POTATO AND CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the sausage for 10 minutes, or until browned and crumbled. Drain well and discard the fat.
• In a large pot over high heat, combine the browned sausage, potatoes, onion, beer and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the cabbage, return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for another 20 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups of the milk and heat slowly to just under a boil. (Note: Don't try to do this too fast, or the milk will burn on the bottom of the pot.).
• In a separate small bowl, mix the flour with the remaining milk, and add to the pot slowly, stirring constantly, so that the flour does not clump. (Note: Make sure you get out all the lumps because they will not cook out on their own.).
• When the mixture in the pot thickens, add the spices and cheese and stir off and on until the cheese has melted.
