In Italy, no good cook would even consider throwing away stale bread when it can be used to thicken an earthy and awesomely delicious soup like this one. Whole wheat, rye, sourdough, even white-all will do! Yum! Adapted from Moosewood Restaurant New Classics cookbook.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups cubed bread (about 1/2 lb.)
5 -6 tablespoons butter
5 -6 cups thinly sliced cabbage (or grated)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
6 cups vegetable broth (or stock)
2 cups Fontina cheese, grated (or Swiss)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil.
  • Spread the bread cubes evenly in a 9"x13" casserole dish or 2 quart ovenproof dish. If the cubes aren't dry, toast them quickly in the oven. Melt 3 tbsp of the butter and drizzle over the bread. Set aside.
  • When the water boils, blanch the cabbage just until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain well. Spread cabbage over the bread. Melt the remaining 2-3 tbsp butter and stir in nutmeg, pepper, and salt. Pour the seasoned butter on the cabbage and bread. Pour the broth over everything and evenly spread the cheese on top.
  • Bake until the cheese melts and starts to brown, 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy!

I made this soup for my family, and they all loved it! Even my picky kids ate it without complaint. I'll definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less sausage and more vegetables.

I've made this soup several times, and it's always a hit. I love the way the sausage and cabbage flavors meld together. It's the perfect soup for a cold winter day.

This soup is very easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have cabbage, potatoes, and carrots on hand, so this soup is a lifesaver.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but I really enjoyed this soup. The cabbage was cooked perfectly, and it didn't have a strong flavor.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used chicken broth instead of beef broth, and it turned out great. I also added some diced carrots and celery to the soup, and it added a nice sweetness.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I accidentally added too much salt. Next time, I'll be more careful with the salt.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more salt and pepper. Otherwise, it was a good soup.
