This soup turned out wonderful! It's mild, creamy and velvety. I really like the mace in it as well. I ate it with sour cream and parmesan cheese. They both went well with it. I used lowfat milk, 1 small onion (1/2 cup), 1 small peeled potato (1/2 cup) & added an extra 1/2 cup of chicken broth due to the previous extras. The directions were a little confusing. After parboiling the cabbage (which I don't think is necessary) I tried manually shredding it as I don't have a food processer and ended up hand chopping it (I wonder if store bought shredded cabbage would work). At the end it wasn't "rubbing" through my sieve so I used my immersion blender. Now that I know my methods worked, I will be making it again! I made this for the Newest Zaar Tag Game.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
