Cut cabbage into bite sized pieces and boil in salted water.
In another saucepan, cut sausage into small pieces and brown in olive oil with chopped onion and garlic.
When sausage is browned and cabbage is semi-tender, add meat to the cabbage and cabbage liquid. Add 4 cut up potatoes, red beans add tomato paste or Contadina tomatoes. Stir in cilantro and the can of sliced olives. Add 1 teaspoon red peppers.
Cook simmering for 45 minutes to an hour or until potatoes are slightly tender, do not overcook as potatoes will turn mushy.
Serve soup with fresh French bread, or sourdough bread and butter; dip into soup for the ultimate fantasy!
