Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan or skillet on medium heat. Add ½ of the olive oil and sauté the cubed kielbasa sausage for 3 – 4 minutes until crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and sauté the diced onion, carrot and celery for 3 – 4 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add the minced garlic for 1 further minute.
Now add the shredded cabbage, salt and pepper and sauté for 1 – 2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth. Add the juniper berries, bay leaves and thyme. Simmer on a low heat for 20 – 25 mins uncovered. Add in the kielbasa for the last 5 minutes of the cooking time.
Stir through the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and adjust the seasoning to taste. Scatter with fresh parsley to serve.

Notes

8.1g net carbs per portion. Makes 4 portions.
Halving the amount of carrots reduces the net carbs to 7.4g per portion.
Shred the cabbage on a mandoline slicer or finely with a sharp knife for the best texture. Option to just chop, but you will need to cook it for 5 minutes more.
Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze it in individual containers for up to 3 months. Reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave.
