Cheese Crusted Cabbage Soup Recipes

OLD-WORLD CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Place chopped cabbage into an 8-quart soup pot.
• Microwave diced carrot in 2 tablespoons water for 6 minutes on high.
• Microwave diced celery in 2 tablespoons water for 4 minutes on high.
• Add the microwaved vegetables to the pot. Add minced sweet onion, celery, and ketchup. Add juice cocktail, vegetable broth, chicken broth, and tomatoes. Fill each can with water, and add the water to the mixture. Cover, and bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 30 minutes.
• Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 2 to 3 hours.
• Serve with slices of a French baguette. Have salt, black pepper, and Tabasco available to season to taste at the table.

CREAMY CABBAGE SOUP WITH GRUYèRE

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the grated potato, the shredded cabbage and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir together for a minute, taking care that the potatoes don't stick to the pot, and add the water or stock, the Parmesan rind, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
• Add the milk to the soup. Stir to combine well and heat through without boiling. A handful at a time, stir the Gruyère into the soup and continue to stir until the cheese has melted. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove the Parmesan rind. Serve, garnishing each bowl with a handful or toasted croutons and a sprinkling of minced chives.
