Cabbage & Potato Soup
This soup is humbleness at it's very best. I can't believe how totally delicious this simple soup was! Honestly, I'd serve this to anyone.
Cabbage & Potato Soup:
3 oz butter
3 leeks, white parts only, clean and chopped
8 baby dutch potatoes, quartered
1/2 head of green cabbage, chopped
2 cups of vegetable broth (I use Wolfgang Puck's)
2 cups water
pinch of sea salt & pepper
2 thin slices of baguette with drip of olive oil
2 slivers of Jarlsberg cheese
Melt 1 TBS butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan and cook the leeks for 4-5 minutes. Add another TBS butter and the potatoes, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring 3 times. Add the last TBS butter with the cabbage, cover, and cook 3-4 minutes. Add the vegetable broth, water, salt, and pepper and simmer for 10 minutes.
Toast the baguette slices under the broiler for 1 minute. Top with cheese and broil one more minute.
Serve soup with cheesy baguette slice.

Oh wow.. simplicity at its best. This soup looks amazing!
This simple soup looks really really good!
OK, I'm a sucker for anything with potatoes, so this is one I am going to try. For right now, my favorite is Julia Child's potato leek soup, albeit I cheat and use chicken stock. I can't get enough of it, which perhaps explains my expanding waistline this fall! (as you can see by the chicken stock, I am not a vegetarian, tho I have a daughter who is...but I do have leanings in that direction and can always improvise!)
This is a wonderful soup - I have made it quite a few times! (Even without the baguette slices... which are a treat.) I often wonder whether I should use 3 oz. butter or 3 TBS butter... usually I go with the larger amount.
