This rich and cozy Southern-inspired soup features tender cabbage, savory aromatics, and a velvety finish. Simmered in a flavorful broth and enhanced with a touch of smoked paprika and cream, it’s a comforting bowl perfect for any time of year.
Ingredients:
Ingredient | Amount |
---|---|
Chopped green cabbage | 1 medium head |
Diced large onion | 1 |
Minced garlic | 3 cloves |
Chicken or vegetable broth | 4 cups |
Heavy cream | 1 cup |
Butter | 2 tablespoons |
Smoked paprika | ½ teaspoon |
Salt and pepper | To taste |
Fresh chopped parsley | For garnish |
Instructions:
Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics
In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute or two, until it’s fragrant.
Step 2: Add the Cabbage
Mix in the chopped cabbage and cook for around 10 minutes, or until it starts to soften.
Step 3: Simmer the Soup
Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the cabbage is fully tender.
Step 4: Blend and Cream
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your liking—completely smooth or partially blended for a chunkier texture. Stir in the heavy cream and smoked paprika, and warm through. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
