German Cabbage Soup

This German Cabbage Soup is incredibly simple to make. If you love the caramelized flavor of fried cabbage, you will adore this soup.

This soup all begins with some shredded cabbage. An entire small head of it.

But the magic happens in the pot, as you saute it with some diced bacon and butter, until the bacon is crisped and the cabbage begins to brown and caramelize. When that happens, the cabbage takes on an irresistible sweetness that melds right into the soup.

Before I married my husband, I had never had fried cabbage. But the first time I had it, I was in love. Now I enjoy fried cabbage any time, and this soup simply highlights that wonderful flavor.

Enjoy!
