Scandinavian Brown Cabbage Soup

Submitted by Somogirl

"This is a simple yet wonderful recipe. It's from House & Garden Magazine 1964. I make it often in the winter. Looking at the ingredients you'd never guess how delicious it is. Everyone I serve this to loves it! By the way, I'm vegetarian so I use canned vegetable broth instead."

A bit sweet, a bit peppery, altogether delicious. I was surprised at how long it took to cook the sugar in the butter, until brown. But I cooked it on v-e-r-y low. Worth every minute it took at make. Undoubtedly, I shall make this soup again.
