CROATIAN CABBAGE SOUP WITH PORK



Croatian Cabbage Soup With Pork image

Braised pork bits and shredded cabbage in a mildly spicy broth. Amazingly sweet and flavorful -- and even better reheated the next day. LOW- Carb, too! Thank you to my friend Tanja for sharing this recipe! I use a tablespoon of Kryddman Swedish spice (when I have it) in place of the dry spices listed but these will work just as well! Freezes well for a healthy make-ahead meal! Note: I use organic ingredients (optional).
