Best Kohlsuppe Cabbage Soup Recipes

Kohlsuppe - Cabbage Soup image

Provided by Julesong

Time 3h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small cabbage, chopped
6 cups chicken broth
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup minced onion
1 1/2 cups diced potatoes (frozen are okay, as are O'Brien potatoes)
salt and pepper, to taste
sour cream, for garnish

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.
