Heat a large heavy bottom pot over medium-high heat and add drizzle of canola oil and your sausage, brown and break up into bits.
Once sausage is browned, remove from pot and drain any excess drippings.
Add another drizzle of oil and add your onions and garlic, season with salt and pepper and let cook until translucent.
Then add your carrots, celery and allow to cook down, 3-5 minutes.
Add your tomato sauce, cabbage, potatoes, stalk and water. Let cook uncovered over medium heat until potatoes are cooked through and your cabbage has reduced in size. About 15-20 minutes.
Stir in your vinegar and sugar and let simmer additional 5 minutes.
Taste at this point to see if needs more salt.
Serve and garnish with fresh dill. (optional)
