For a richer flavor, use bone broth instead of chicken broth. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end to brighten the flavors. If you prefer a thicker stew, use a bit more flour in the slurry.
A hearty and comforting stew featuring savory smoked sausage, tender cabbage, and a medley of root vegetables, simmered in a rich broth. Perfect for a cozy weeknight meal.
Preheat a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add avocado oil; heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Add sausage pieces, cut-sides down; cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip; cook until other side browned, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer sausage to a plate; reserve drippings in the Dutch oven.
Add carrots, potatoes, and onion to the Dutch oven; stir to coat with drippings. Add chicken broth and black pepper; stir to combine. Place sausage pieces on top vegetables in Dutch oven; place cabbage wedges on top sausage. Bring broth to a boil, about 5 minutes; cover the Dutch oven and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
Transfer vegetables and sausage to a bowl using a slotted spoon; set aside. (Cabbage may be cut into bite-sized pieces.)
Place flour in a small bowl; add enough water to make a thin paste, stirring until lumps dissolve. Whisk flour slurry into broth in the Dutch oven, whisking constantly while gradually adding slurry until liquid boils, about 5 minutes. Return vegetables and sausage to the Dutch oven. Taste; adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve in individual bowls.
