Cabbage, Potato and Leek Soup image

Here's a warming, economical soup that combines cabbage with leeks, potatoes and plenty of black pepper. The potatoes melt slightly into the broth, making the texture silky, lush and even a bit sexy (at least as far as cabbage goes).

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium leeks, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
8 cups shredded cabbage
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 thyme branches
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, to serve

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, add the leeks and cook until soft and golden around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cabbage and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage begins to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in potatoes, stock, 4 cups water, salt and thyme. Bring soup to a simmer and cook, partly covered, until potatoes begin to fall apart, 45 to 50 minutes. Add more water, as needed, to reach the desired consistency. Season with black pepper and serve, topped with cheese.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been thinner.

I'm not a huge fan of cabbage soup, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The leeks and potatoes added a lot of flavor. I would definitely make this again.

This soup was just okay. I found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some additional seasonings.

I made this soup last week and it was delicious! I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and it turned out great. I also added a little bit of chopped parsley at the end. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This soup was so easy to make and it turned out so well! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they were perfect. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the leeks added a nice touch. I will definitely be making this soup again.
