French Cabbage Soup from Door County, WI image

This recipe is a popular soup served at the Summer Kitchen near Ephraim, WI. It is thick and delicious. I've modified it somewhat by adding the thyme and pepper for even more flavor. It freezes very well. For Culinary Quest participants - it's typical of the hearty soups served throughout central Europe.
