Cabbage Soup

Went pretty much by-the-book with this Rustic Cabbage Soup recipe, paired with a rosemary garlic bread that I picked up at the store. I used chicken broth that I had on hand rather than the vegetable stock mentioned. It all tasted quite good, with about 3-4 leftover servings of soup.

Notes: I was thinking of next time trying it with some meat - either cook up a few strips of bacon beforehand and put it in with the beans. Kielbasa would pair with the cabbage pretty well. I also thought of replacing some of the stock with a bottle of dark beer. This is also a good basic recipe for more substantial variation - keep the cabbage and onion as the basis and go off into the wide veggie world...
