Cabbage and Potato Soup

Cabbage and potato soup, it's what's for dinner today. It's such a warm and comforting soup. A great treat for a Sunday evening.



This soup turned out so much better than I expected it to! I took a shortcut and used  a cup of chopped, frozen all-natural french fries with the skin on, instead of using a potato. The seasoning from the fries added an extra flavor to this wonderful soup. 

Ingredients
  • 3 Tbsp of olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp of all purpose flour
  • 4 cups of water
  • 4 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1/4 tsp of black pepper
  • 2 cups of chopped boneless chicken breast
  • 4 cups of chopped cabbage
  • 1 chopped potato, with skin on
  • 4 slices of precooked bacon, sliced into small pieces
  • 1 cup of sweet corn, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup of chopped onions

Directions
Heat a 4-quart pot on medium high heat. Add the olive oil. Once the olive oil has heated, stir in the flour until well blended. Stir in the water and bring to a boil and add the chicken bouillon cubes, black pepper, and chicken. Cook for 10 minutes then and add the chopped cabbage and potatoes. 


Lower the heat to medium and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the potatoes have softened. Add the precooked bacon, sweet corn, and onions, and cook for another 10 minutes. Add the soup to bowls and let cool for approximately 5 minutes. Enjoy! 

Makes 4 - 6 servings.
