Before you start

A food processor will make chopping the vegetables easier.

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the onions; finely chop the cabbage; shred the carrots.
  2. Heat the oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the vegetables, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well, then cover and cook 25 min over very low heat.
  3. Pour in the broth, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer 15 min. Pour in the milk, then adjust the seasoning.
  4. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

Observations

The soup keeps up to 7 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. Milk may be added when the soup is reheated.

Plain and simple. With an accenting side dish you don't need anything else. Excellent soup that I look forward to making it again.

I have been looking for a cabbage soup recipe that I got from a lady I worked with many years ago. Unfortunately, this is not the soup I was hoping for...BUT... it is still really good! If you can get past the fact that it looks like a cross between an uncooked omelet and coleslaw, it's great! By the way, the colours are much brighter than the picture shows - for once the photo doesn't look as good as the real thing.

Noting that (once again) only salt and pepper are used for seasoning, I added curry, cayenne and tarragon. Next time, I'm going to add tomato too. A very tasty, easy to make, quick lunch! I served it with nachos & salsa.

This is a very different version of cabbage soup (eg. with tomatoes) the addition of milk gives the soup a very rich tasting soup with the added bonus of calcium.

We have made this soup twice, once adding barley, with enough for the freezer each time. It was excellent both ways and we look forward to eating it again for lunch or supper. Pat & Mike C.
