Kohlsuppe Cabbage Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Put the chopped cabbage and the broth in the crockpot, on high; simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
• In a sauté pan, cook the bacon slices until crisp; remove, chop roughly, and set aside.
• Sauté the onion in the bacon drippings until soft.
• Add the chopped bacon, onion, potato, and salt and pepper to the crockpot.
• Cook on high for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours hours, until the cabbage reaches the texture you prefer.
• Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
• Notes: would also be good with some dill weed or caraway added, or even kielbasa slices, if you like; I also added a 1 once cube of concentrated frozen duck stock, but as most folks don't have it in their freezer I didn't include it in the ingredient list; you could simmer this in a heavy pot on the stove for an hour instead of the crockpot, too.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the butter and saute the onions, diced bacon and leek.
• Combine all the remaining ingredients except salt and pepper in the saucepan.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer partially covered for 90 minutes.
• Remove the bouquet garni and season the soup with salt and pepper.
• Serve the cabbage soup and garnish with fresh parsley leaves.
