1 head cabbage, shredded
1 qt. tomatoes
1 lb. Kolbasz, cut in chunks
1/4 chopped onion
1/3 c. flour
1/2 c. water

THICKENING:

1/2 c. reserved broth
1/3 c. flour
1/3 c. butter

Place cabbage and sauce pot and add 1 quart water and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook cabbage, uncovered, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and place on the top the Kolbasz. Cover pot and cook for 15- 20 minutes. Remove 1/2 cup cooking liquid and set aside to cool until lukewarm. In another small skillet make a thickening mixture by melting butter over low heat, slowly adding the flour until it is saturated and then slowly adding the broth stirring constantly. Remove the Kolbasz and blend the thickening (Rantas) to the pot and cook over medium heat for 2-3 more minutes. Add the Kolbasz and serve.
