Croatian Cabbage Soup With Pork
Braised pork bits and shredded cabbage in a mildly spicy broth. Amazingly sweet and flavorful -- and even better reheated the next day. Low- carb, too! Thank you to my friend tanja for sharing this recipe! i use a tablespoon of kryddman swedish spice (when i have it) in place of the dry spices listed but these will work just as well! freezes well for a healthy make-ahead meal! note: i use organic ingredients (optional).
