I made this today, with modifications: Added in a little coconut oil(solid not fluid) in place some of the butter. Instead of flour, I used a tablespoon of ground chia. Caraway seeds and 1/4 cup fresh chopped fennel were added. Added in some cubed, left-over ham to compensate for low sodium broth used.(No additional salt was needed) I also used a great deal more cabbage than the 2 cups. The soup came out very rich and creamy. If you don't like creamy, omit the chia. This is really a fantastic base recipe for so so many veggie based soups. Enjoy!
