				Saute` onion, butter, celery and sausage in the bottom of the soup pot.

				Add broth and water and bring to a boil.   Add potatoes, cabbage, carrots and seasonings.  Reduce to medium–low heat and simmer 15-20 minutes.
				Add diced tomatoes.  Mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water and stir into the soup.
				Salt and pepper to taste.  Let simmer another 5 minutes to thicken and remove from heat.
				Serve with a sliced baguette or some garlic toast!
