Cabbage is plentiful in upstate New York. This is a very hearty soup that will warm up any chilled body. During winter, I like to keep it simmering on the woodstove all day.

This is an easy, delicious and comforting soup. You can use a can of sauerkraut, drained and well rinsed, in place of the cabbage if you wish. Also, get the broth mixture going and then add the sliced and diced veggies right into the pot as you prepare them. Pumpernickel bread is great with this.
