Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 small head of cabbage, shredded or chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup milk (optional, for creamier soup)
  • Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)

Equipment

  • Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add the Potatoes and Broth: Next, add the diced potatoes to the pot. Stir them in with the onions and garlic for a minute to coat them in the oil and seasonings. Then, pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Add the Cabbage: Once the potatoes are tender, add the shredded cabbage to the pot. Stir everything together and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the cabbage to soften and meld with the flavors of the broth.
  4. Season the Soup: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and dried thyme (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If you prefer a creamier soup, add the milk at this stage and stir to combine.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread for the perfect meal.

Notes

To make this soup even more flavorful, try adding smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce for a bit of spice. You can also add protein by including bacon or sausage for a heartier version. Cabbage Potato Soup is versatile, and you can always modify it based on your preferences. For a vegetarian version, stick with the vegetable broth and skip any meat additions.
