Chef tips
To bring out the cabbage's natural sweetness, make sure to sauté it thoroughly with the onion and carrot until it's soft and lightly golden before adding the broth. For a richer serving, add a dollop of sour cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free version) to each bowl. Kids will love helping peel and season baby potatoes to make the soup heartier.
