In a large Dutch oven, brown sausage, remove from pan and drain any grease. On medium-high heat add to the pot; water, broth, sweet potatoes, onion, cabbage and thyme. Simmer until potatoes are tender and cabbage is cooked. Add sausage to the pot and simmer 10 minutes. Season soup with dried thyme, salt and pepper and serve with crispy sage leaves.
Crispy Sage Leaves: Pinch off sage leaves from steam. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Fry 6–8 sage leaves at a time until crisp, 2–3 seconds on each side. Transfer with a fork to paper towels and sprinkle generously with coarse salt.
