1 lb. Portuguese sausage
4 med. potatoes
2 cans red beans, drained
1 lg. can tomato paste
1/2 lg. head cabbage
Salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, red peppers to fit taste

Slice cabbage into bite size pieces. Cook in water and salt until wilted. Cut potatoes in cubes and add to cabbage. Combine red beans, tomato paste, sausage, garlic, pepper and red peppers. Add enough water to make soup consistency. Cook until potatoes and cabbage are tender.

My Hawaiian husband taught me how to make this Portuguese soup. He is Sicilian and Portuguese descent, born in Hawaii.
