    2      Lb.           Italian sausage links
    2      C.            dry white wine
    2      Cloves        garlic -- minced
    1      Medium        onion -- finely chopped
    5      C.            chopped cabbage
    1      Can           tomatoes -- (28 oz.) cut up
    1      C.            water
    1      Can           green chili -- (4 oz.)
                         peppers -- rinsed, seeded and
                         chopped
 
 Using the tines of a fork, prick the sausage casing
 several times. Cut the sausage in 1-inch 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.
