Method

1
Prep all vegetables: chop the cabbage, dice the onions, slice the carrots, dice the celery, mince the garlic, and dice the tomatoes; slice the smoked sausage into rounds.
2
Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, and sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
3
Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown and render some fat.
4
Stir in the chopped cabbage in batches, letting each addition wilt down before adding more, about 8-10 minutes total.
5
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, then pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar.
6
Stir in the paprika, black pepper, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
7
Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is fully tender and the broth has taken on the flavor of the sausage.
8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a piece of cornbread.
