CZECH CABBAGE DISH



Czech Cabbage Dish image

I can only attempt to spell the real name of this dish; Cabushka or something like that! My mother's father was from Czechoslovakia, and he has three sisters who are excellent cooks. I have learned to cook this dish quite happily. At our last reunion, there were three separate bowls with different versions of this same dish; they were all scraped clean!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cabbage. Different types of cabbage, such as green cabbage, red cabbage, and Savoy cabbage, have slightly different flavors and textures. Using a mix of different types of cabbage can add depth and complexity to your soup.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage. Cabbage should be cooked until it is tender but still has a bit of a crunch. Overcooked cabbage will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Add other vegetables. In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. This will add flavor and nutrition to your soup.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
  • Season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to brighten the flavors of your soup.

Conclusion:

Czech cabbage soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting soup, give Czech cabbage soup a try!
