Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 quarts homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken or vegetable stock
1 savoy cabbage, stalks removed, outer leaves separated, washed, and roughly chopped
2 large handfuls of kale, stalks removed, leaves washed and roughly chopped
16 slices stale country-style or sourdough bread
1 clove garlic, unpeeled and halved
Olive oil
12 to 14 slices pancetta or bacon, coarsely chopped
1 (4-ounce) can anchovy fillets in oil
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves only
7 ounces fontina cheese, grated
5 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small bunch fresh sage, leaves only

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Place stock in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and kale and cook until softened. Transfer cabbage to a large bowl and set stock aside. 3. Toast 12 slices bread and rub one side of each slice with garlic and set aside. Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and anchovy fillets; cook until pancetta is golden brown and sizzling. Add rosemary and cooked cabbage mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to a large bowl. 4. Place 4 slices of toast in an even layer in Dutch oven. Top with one-third of the cabbage mixture. Top with one-quarter of fontina and Parmesan cheese. Repeat process two times, until all the toasted bread and cabbage mixture is used. Top with remaining 4 slices untoasted bread, pushing down with your hands. Gently pour stock into Dutch-oven until it just comes to the top layer of bread. Top with remaining cheese. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. 5. Transfer Dutch oven to oven and bake until top is golden and crisp. Just before serving, heat butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until crisp and butter is golden. Serve soup immediately drizzled with sage butter and topped with sage leaves and Parmesan, if desired.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made this soup without the Italian bread. It was still very filling.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the sausage. It was still very good.

I'm allergic to cabbage, so I wasn't able to try this soup. But it sounds delicious!

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if I had used less chili powder.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover cabbage. It's also a very affordable meal. I was able to make a big pot of soup for less than $10.

I'm not a huge fan of cabbage, but this soup was really good. The cabbage was cooked perfectly and the broth was very flavorful. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more salt and pepper. The cabbage was also a bit tough. I think I would have preferred it if it had been cooked for a little longer.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the soup turned out great. The cabbage was tender and the broth was rich and flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
