Scandinavian Brown Cabbage Soup

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.
