My stomach has found a new lover, ok that sounds weird but I am in love.  With cabbage soup your thinking? I know it sounds so strange but this soup is so very good.  I promise you can’t just eat one bowl, you will wake up  in the morning thinking could I eat it for breakfast that’s just how very good and addicting it is.  The soup is basic, has few ingredients but combined all together simply put, GOOD!

My Mom and I made this before we moved back in our home, and I kid you not while moving all day Friday, I ate one bowl around 10:30, 2 more at lunch time, and snuck a 4th bowl around 3:30. Is it bad to admit that? But  I just couldn’t resist the lovely, creamy, mouth watering soup.

So now I know your seriously thinking about making this.  I just know Cabbage soup sounds like the bomb, and all. I promise you won’t regret making this.

Ingredients: 1 small head of cabbage, 4-5 stalks celery, 1 onion, 4-5 potatoes, 32 oz chicken broth, 2 T brown sugar, 1 link of sausage, 1 T salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 tsp caraway seeds, 3 cups milk and 1-2 cups heavy cream.

This makes a large amount of soup but you could easily half the recipe.
