Ahh, the only redeeming thing about winter is the soups.
Cabbage with a smoky sausage like rookworst makes for a fantastic soup. With some potato and beans, you have a one pot meal. Another delicious, cheap and easy option for a cold and hungry bunch.
Something I might try next time is maybe some buttery toasted breadcrumbs to go on top. Yes, I think I will try that next time.
