Creamy Cabbage Soup came into being as a culinary experiment. I was looking for a new way to prepare cabbage. It is vegetable with many health benefits, but the way I was cooking it was, more or less, always the same. One day I got the idea to puree it and turn it into soup.
Honestly, I didn’t believe it would work, I was afraid it would have a strong smell. But, thank God, I decided to proceed with the experiment anyway. To my surprise, the soup tasted wonderful, very mild and creamy. Everybody liked it, but nobody could guess what it was. People usually believe it is mushroom or celery soup.
Try this Creamy Cabbage Soup on a cold day. It will comfort you and boost your health at the same time.
