CREAM OF CABBAGE SOUP



Cream of Cabbage Soup image

Meet the Cook: There were 11 children in my family when I was growing up, and my husband and I have seven grown children (and now eight grandchildren). Need less to say, I have been cooking ever since I could handle a spoon. People love this soup's flavor and creamy cheese consistency. I've given the recipe to friends, who've varied it a little. One substituted summer squash and zucchini for the rutabaga. She said it tasted just great that way, too. -Helen Riesterer, Kiel, Wisconsin

Creamy Cabbage Soup With Gruyère image

This is a creamy soup that has no cream in it. I can't think of a more comforting meal to eat on a cold winter night. The Parmesan rind intensifies the cheesy flavor without adding more cheese.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 russet potato, peeled and grated
3/4 pound cabbage (about 1/2 medium head), cored and shredded
Salt to taste
5 cups water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 Parmesan rind
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups low-fat milk
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
6 1/2-inch thick slices of French or country bread, toasted and cut into small squares
Minced fresh chives

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.
