When you smell the fragrance of the onions, go ahead and add in your stock, cabbage, bacon, potatoes, and bay leaf. Stir to combine and then bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cooking for twenty to twenty-five minutes.
While many recipes call for salting and peppering your soup as you go, wait until the end to add salt, as the bacon (depending on the brand) may have different salt levels.
Once the cabbage is cooked through, you’re ready to serve!
Garnished with some fresh parsley, this recipe is good to go.
Varying textures of the vegetables makes for delightful bite. The savory meatiness of the bacon and the fragrant aromatic vegetables create a complex but ready-to-drink broth, that’ll cut through any winter weather chill or seasonal cold.
