Description
A comforting soup packed with silky potatoes, tender cabbage, and crispy beef bacon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds waxy potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup beef bacon, chopped
- 1/2 head cabbage, chopped
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken stock or vegetable broth
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (like parsley), for garnish
Instructions
- Sizzle the beef bacon: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil and toss in the beef bacon, cooking until crispy.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add in diced onions and minced garlic, stirring until they’re fragrant.
- Toss in those potatoes: Add the chopped potatoes and cabbage, giving everything a gentle hug to coat ‘em in goodness.
- Pour in the liquid: Add your stock or broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer until everything is tender.
- Blend, if desired: For a smoother texture, grab that blender. Otherwise, embrace the rustic charm of chunky soup.
- Finish with herbs: Taste-test, adjust the seasoning, and sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, skip the beef bacon and use vegetable broth.
