Cabbage Soup with Sausage and Leeks!

Well, the title pretty much says it all. It was one of those lets-see-what-I've-got-in-the-refridgerator nights. It ended up turning out quite delicious if I do say so myself. Leonard even loved it. One of these days Ill start taking pictures of these concotions.

1 pkg spicey pork sausage
1 onion, diced
1/2 Tbsp basil
1/2 Tbsp parsley
1 tsp thyme
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1 leek
1 half head of cabbage
*thickening agent (I used corn starch, though I think I prefer flour)
1-2 c. milk
1 can of corn
salt
pepper
crushed pepper

Brown the sausage with half of the onion. Meanwhile, fill up your favorite soup cooking pot about half full of water and let it come to a boil. While the water is coming to a boil, toss in the rest of the onion, the basil, parsley, thyme, and garlic. Slice the leak into about qaurter inch pieces and shred the cabbage to your desire and toss it all into the water. Once the veggies are cooked to your desired tenderness add your thickening agent. When the soup has thickened up add the milk, corn, and sausage and bring back to a boil. When the soup is thoroughly heated and to the thickness you want it, take it off the burner and serve!

*if anyone does not undersand what a thickening agent is or how to use it, I would be happy to explain it.
