Creamy Cabbage Soup With Gruyère image

This is a creamy soup that has no cream in it. I can't think of a more comforting meal to eat on a cold winter night. The Parmesan rind intensifies the cheesy flavor without adding more cheese.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 russet potato, peeled and grated
3/4 pound cabbage (about 1/2 medium head), cored and shredded
Salt to taste
5 cups water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 Parmesan rind
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups low-fat milk
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
6 1/2-inch thick slices of French or country bread, toasted and cut into small squares
Minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the grated potato, the shredded cabbage and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir together for a minute, taking care that the potatoes don't stick to the pot, and add the water or stock, the Parmesan rind, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the milk to the soup. Stir to combine well and heat through without boiling. A handful at a time, stir the Gruyère into the soup and continue to stir until the cheese has melted. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove the Parmesan rind. Serve, garnishing each bowl with a handful or toasted croutons and a sprinkling of minced chives.

CREAM OF CABBAGE SOUP



Cream of Cabbage Soup image

Meet the Cook: There were 11 children in my family when I was growing up, and my husband and I have seven grown children (and now eight grandchildren). Need less to say, I have been cooking ever since I could handle a spoon. People love this soup's flavor and creamy cheese consistency. I've given the recipe to friends, who've varied it a little. One substituted summer squash and zucchini for the rutabaga. She said it tasted just great that way, too. -Helen Riesterer, Kiel, Wisconsin

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups vegetable broth (divided use)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced carrot
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
3 cups shredded cabbage (I used cole slaw mix)
1/2 teaspoon dill seed
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 cup vegetable broth
3 ounces havarti cheese, cubed
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
3 slices center cut bacon, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan cook vegetables in 2 cups vegetable broth until tender, about 45 minutes. Add dill seed.
  • While vegetables are cooking make sauce as follows: Melt butter in medium saucepan; stir in flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in milk and remaining 2 cups vegetable broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Add cheese, thyme, and white pepper.
  • When cheese has melted, add to vegetable mixture and stir well. Add crumbled bacon and stir again.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh cabbage. Fresh cabbage has a sweeter flavor and crisper texture than cabbage that has been stored for a long time.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage. Overcooked cabbage will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and color to your soup.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the soup hot or cold. Creamed cabbage soup is delicious served hot or cold, so it's a great option for summer or winter.

Conclusion:

Creamed cabbage soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, creamed cabbage soup is a comforting and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
