With the weather turning cold now, and wanted something to clink to the ribs, I decided to make a CABBAGE & SAUSAGE CHOWDER. I didn't have any smoked sausage and the only thing that I had was a package of Johnsonville's Smoked Beef Brats. So, I started making my chowder with vegetables and seasoning... Lets go to the kitchen...
