Sounds like a good soup!

Sheilajoyce, I had a bad case of salmonella years ago. I spent the whole day in the ER, and they wanted to admit me, but I insisted on going home. I don't think I got out of bed for two weeks. I've never been so sick in my life, to the point where I couldn't even imagine myself well. The ER doctor prescribed an antibiotic, which I continued to take despite a phone call from the Department of Health telling me that antibiotics were useless for salmonella.

I don't know if your antibiotic is useless for your illness or not, but I think it might be a good idea to read up on it, and also look into taking a probiotic. Antibiotics can really mess up your gut flora, affecting lots of things, including mental health. I've had a lot of antibiotics for tick-borne illnesses over the years, and wish I'd started taking a probiotic along with them (but not at the same time of day) from the start. I've had good results with Theralac.

I hope you'll be fully recovered soon.

So sorry you got so sick.

I made the Cabbage and Sausage soup for DH when he was so sick for 2 weeks, but skipped the sausage and added chicken. he called it his Polish/Jewish penicillin!

It is an excellent soup.

I looked up several recipes for cabbage and sausage soup and they all sounded great, other than the caraway, which I would have to omit.

I make a similiar soup using cauliflower instead of cabbage, but will definitely prepare it with the latter next time. Smoked sausage is such a delicious addition to many dishes that I make.

Rhizo, if you come back, about sharing the ingredients on the cauliflower soup.

Hopefully, the food poisoning is past you now. I would have never thought of cabbage and sausage as a healing soup. It does sound delicious.

ETA: I don't like caraway seeds either. i just found a recipe I may make tomorrow. I think I may have everything on hand except possibly cabbage. If not, I'll make a run to the store.

I hope you are feeling better. Food poisoning is the worst.

I got it once from a casino buffet and thought I was going to die. Hubby told the hotel desk that we wouldn't be checking out on time and that we also wouldn't be paying for another days lodging. They told us to keep the room as long as we needed it.

Your soup sounds delicious. I've been wanting to make a pot of soup and that sounds like a good one to try.
