Ingredients




2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 small head cabbage, cored and chopped in about 1” pieces
2 cups rice milk or regular milk
6 cups vegetable stock
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Preparation

1 In the bottom of a soup pot, sauté celery, onions, and pepper in butter until softened. 2 Add cabbage and stir fry for a few minutes.  Add milk and bring to a boil--just up to a simmer if using regular milk. 3 Turn heat down and add vegetable stock and salt.  Simmer. 4 Grind the rosemary with a mortar and pestle or finely chop in a food processor.  Add to soup. 5 Continue simmering until cabbage is crisp-tender, or 10-15 minutes. 6 Serve with croutons.

About


Pure and simple cabbage soup--it's the rosemary that makes this taste so good.  Serve with croutons to make a hearty meal.  There's a recipe for fresh croutons on my blog, here:
