Creamy Cabbage Soup

This is an easy, delicious soup which is kind to your budget. This recipe is just a guide, I often use a whole cabbage, two onions and two carrots. The onion, carrot, cabbage and potato can be shredded in a food processor. Be careful not to add too much liquid when simmering as the cabbage releases a lot of liquid when blended. The soup freezes well. It was inspired by Creamy Zucchini Soup
