Kielbasa and Cabbage Soup in a Jiffy

Ingredients

• I was in such a hurry that I grabbed a large soup pot, filled with cold water and placed over medium heat on the stove. Immediately dropped in 6 chicken bouillon cubes. Grabbed an onion out of the fridge – I had about 3/4 of a medium sweet onion from making salad the day before,pulled the carrots and the celery out of the drawer, washed a couple stalks of celery and 3 large carrots; cleaned the carrots and sliced; sliced the celery adding a healthy dose of fresh celery leaves – minced and diced the onion. Not much Kosher salt is needed because of the bouillon cubes.
• Sliced a half of the 3-pound package of sausage and added to pot with parsley and cracked black pepper.
• Bring to simmer over medium heat – very little skimming with this – and when the sausage was cooked through, added egg noodles and chopped green cabbage. Cook until noodles and cabbage are tender.
• My actual prep time was less than 10 minutes!
