Recipe - Hearty Sausage Soup

2 pound Italian sausage links
2 cup Dry white wine
2 Cloves garlic; minced
1 md Onion; finely chopped
5 cup Chopped cabbage
1 cn Tomatoes; (28 oz.) cut up
1 cup Water
1 cn Green chili peppers (4 oz.);
rinsed, seeded and chopped

Using the tines of a fork, prick the sausage casing several times. Cut the
sausage in 1inch pieces; place in a large mixing bowl. For marinade, add
wine and garlic to sausage pieces. Marinate for 30 minutes. Drain sausage
pieces, reserving marinade. In a Dutch oven or large kettle, cook the
sausage and onion until the meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off
fat. Add reserved marinade. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered,
for 20 minutes. Stir in cabbage, undrained tomatoes, water and green chili
peppers. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally. (Cool
and refrigerate soup at this point, if planning to reheat.) Makes 8 to 10
servings. To reheat chilled soup, place it in a Dutch oven or large kettle;
cover and bring to boiling (about 30 minutes), stirring occasionally. If
the soup is too thick, add an additional 1 cup water and heat through.
