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).

POTATO LEEK SOUP WITH CABBAGE



Potato Leek Soup With Cabbage image

This soup is a delicious but healthy comfort food for a cold winter day! Fairly simple to prepare, it is great for a weeknight dinner, or to keep in the fridge for lunch. I haven't tried freezing it, but it keeps several days in the fridge. It does thicken up, especially as it chills, so for a thinner soup, increase the broth by another cup or so.
