Farmer Sausage Borscht for a Crowd
This is another hearty thick soup that I made for our small church group. It is both economical and perfect to pair with some buns and a salad. You will need a large stock pot that holds 12 liters. It can be made a day in advance, refrigerated and then warmed very slowly over low heat so as to avoid scorching the bottom.
- 1 1/2 rings smoked farmer sausage or 3 pounds of other smoked mild sausage
- 2 jumbo onions diced fine
- 12 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 10 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 - 28 ounce cans diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons "Better than Bouillon" vegetable base (look by the bouillon cubes)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 chili peppers diced fine (I used fresh but you can use 2 teaspoons of dried chili peppers)
- 2 medium cabbages, quartered and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
- 1 packet of fresh dill weed (in the produce section) chopped fine
- Brown the farmer sausage and onion in your very large stock pot until nicely browned.
- Add 2 cups of water to de-glaze the bottom of the pot and simmer for 10 minutes while you prepare vegetables.
- Add all the rest of the vegetables and seasonings but the cabbage and dill weed in order.
- Stir well.
- Add the cabbage last, filling your pot up two inches from the top.
- Add water to come level with the top of the cabbage.
- Bring to a boil and add in the chopped dill weed.
- Simmer and stir occasionally on low heat for 4 hours.
