Savoy Cabbage Potato Soup

Submitted by Lalaloula

"This is what I came up with having to use up a big head of savoy cabbage. It's super easy to make and perfect for one of those chilly autumn or winter days when all you want to do is snuggle up on the couch with something hot in your hands."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 head savoy cabbage (about 500g)
• 1150 g potatoes
• 2 red onions
• 2 small white onions
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 1⁄2 liters vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons oil
• nutmeg, black pepper, salt to season with

directions

1. Peel, wash and dice the potatoes. Clean and wash the savoy cabbage and cut it into small and short strips. Cut the onion into slices and peel the garlic.
2. Heat the oil in a big cast iron pot and once it's hot press the garlic into it. Fry with the onions for about 1 min or until golden brown.
3. Add the potatoes and the savoy cabbage. Fry for another 2 minutes or so and then add the vegetable broth.
4. Once the savoy cabbage has shrunken a bit, cover and let simmer for 25-30 minutes until vegetables are tender.
5. Season to taste and blend with a hand-held blender. The soup should still be lumpy. If it's too thick for your taste, add some more broth to it.
6. Serve with oven-warm bread.

A nice light simple soup. This is the kind of soup that makes you feel better when you have a bad cold. Made as written, choosing not to puree. Made a double batch so there would be some for freezing as traditionally cabbage soups freeze very well. Thanks so much for the post.

A good soup when I came home late and didn't want to do a lot of cooking, also useful for using up that cabbage! I made exactly as directed, so easy. I did partially puree it, and liked the results. I served this with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of grated cheese, and a coriander sprig, along with chunky fresh bread, well received by all, even my daughters who normally would not be keen to eat anything with cabbage! Made for our November VIP Lalaloula, Vegetarian Swap#16

A lovely, rustic, warming soup. I used yellow onions instead of red, and chicken broth, as that was what I had. I halved the recipe, but ended up using a liter of broth. Also, I threw a couple of whole peppercorns and a bayleaf into the pot, as I find that vegetable soups really benefit from this. I decided not to puree, something about that did not appeal to me. This ended up as three servings for me, most welcome. Something you can whip up anytime, as you are likely to have the ingredients on hand.
