Cabbage And Bacon Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep stockpot or saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain off any excess fat.
• Stir in potatoes, tomatoes, and enough chicken stock to cover. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• Stir in cabbage and allow the soup to simmer for a few minutes longer before serving.

Steps:

• Chop the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in a food processor. Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the vegetables and potatoes, season well, then reduce the heat and cover the pan. Gently cook for about 5 mins until starting to soften, then add the stock, turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 mins more, or until all the vegetables are tender.
• While the soup is cooking, grill or fry the bacon until crisp, then cut into strips. Shred the cabbage, discarding the core.
• Whizz the soup in the food processor until smooth, then return to the pan and add the cabbage. Simmer for a few mins until the cabbage is just tender, then season to taste and serve scattered with the bacon.

Steps:

• In small saucepan, combine bacon and cold water to cover. Cover, bring to boil over moderate heat, and skim foam from surface.
• Reduce heat and simmer 7 minutes. Drain and cool, then cut into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.
• In 6-quart heavy stock pot over moderate heat, melt butter. Add onion and saute, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and saute 2 minutes. Add stock, bay leaves, salt, and
• pepper and bring to boil. Reduce heat to moderately low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add cabbage and simmer 5 additional minutes. Discard bay leaves.
• Working in 3 batches, in blender puree soup until smooth (using caution when blending hot liquids). Return to pot, stir in bacon, and rewarm if necessary. Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• In a large pot, cook bacon until it renders its fat, about 5 minutes. Add butter, onion and leek; sauté until softened, about 6 minutes.
• Add cabbage, salt and pepper; cover and cook, stirring until cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add stock and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Add cream and simmer, stirring until soup achieves a creamy texture. Process with stick blender or food processor, leaving some chunks.

Steps:

• In small saucepan, combine bacon and cold water to cover. Cover, bring to boil over moderate heat, and skim foam from surface. Reduce heat and simmer 7 minutes. Drain and cool, then cut into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.

Steps:

• Put the bacon, carrot, turnip and onion in a large pan,and cover with cold water.
• Bring to the boil, and then simmer very gently for 45 minutes.
• Raise the heat to boiling, then add the beans and peas.
• After 5 minutes, add the cabbage and simmer for another 10 minutes.
• Lift out the bacon, and cut into small pieces and return to the pot.
• Taste for salt-I don't think you'll need to add any-and season with pepper and nutmeg.
• Serve with good crusty bread.

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, saute your diced bacon for about five minutes until it starts to release its fat. If it's really fatty, drain some, so that you keep about a tbsp of bacon fat in the pot. Add your carrots, onion, and garlic. Cook for about 10 min, until vegetables are soft.
• Add your chicken broth, water, and all of your spices except for the salt (be cautious with the salt--this soup can easily get too salty). Cover pot with lid. Bring to a boil. Add the beans and the cabbage, and let come to a gentle boil again. At this point, bring it to a gentle simmer on a lower heat and let it simmer away for about 30 minute Stir every once in a while so nothing sticks to the bottom.
• Taste and adjust seasoning. If you'd like, add the tsp of salt here, if it needs it. If you find you want to bring out the sweetness of the cabbage just a touch because your bacon is too smokey, add the sugar. (I liked the small bit of sugar.).
• Simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes, adjusting seasonings as needed. Discard your bay leaf and serve. Garnish with a tbsp of freshly grated Parmesan (it adds a really nice nutty depth to the soup.).
• Stored in an airtight container, soup will keep well in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
