Cabbage & Leek Soup

Cabbage soup has gotten a bad reputation due to various diet trends, but it’s actually incredibly tasty and hearty, especially on cold days.

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 1 head white cabbage, cleaned and chopped
• 1 leek, cleaned and chopped
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 lb potatoes, peeled and diced
• Salt, pepper, caraway seeds, and marjoram to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped cabbage and leek, and saute until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let cook for about 15 minutes.
3. Add the potatoes to the pot and continue to cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Season the soup with salt, pepper, caraway seeds, and marjoram to taste.
5. Serve immediately.
   

Tip: To give this soup a little extra flair, add half a cup of sour cream and a splash of white wine towards the end of the cooking time.
