Directions
Place sausage slices in a 4- to 6-quart kettle or Dutch oven; cook over medium heat, stirring, to brown sausage lightly in its own drippings. Spoon off fat.
Add potatoes, bay leaf, green pepper, pimientos, onion, and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 to 25 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Stir in corn and cabbage and boil gently, uncovered, about 3 minutes. Add milk. Heat slowly just until soup is steaming hot (do not boil).
Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Sprinkle with paprika.
