Diet Sausage-Cabbage Soup

Submitted by Stella8037

"This is a combo of a couple of diet cabbage soup recipes I have. I don't follow any particular diet, but this is healthy and much more palatable with the addition of lean sausage for flavor. I'm not a fan of those high-sodium soup flavor packets! :P"
