Ingredients

12 ounces linguica sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 onion, peeled and chopped (6 oz.)
1 large garlic clove, peeled and minced
5 cups chicken broth, fat-skimmed
1 (12 ounce) bottle wheat beer (hefeweizen)

1 1/2 quarts cabbage, finely shredded (8 to 12 oz)
1 cup carrot, sliced 1/4 in. thick

1/2 teaspoon whole allspice

Preparation

In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-high heat, stir sausage often until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Spoon out and discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan.
Add onion and garlic to pan; stir often until limp, 3 minutes.
Increase heat to high. Add broth, beer, potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. Wrap and tie coriander, allspice, and peppercorns in cheesecloth; add to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender to bite, 10 to 15 minutes. Discard wrapped spices.
Stir in parsley. Ladle soup into bowls. Serve mustard alongside to add to taste.
