Fated To Happen Cabbage Soup
Dh & i love cabbage, but cabbage heads are very lrg here in iceland & we grow weary of the endless leftovers when the meat of that 1st meal disappears. So i am always looking for a creative way to make a new & tasty meal of them. Today i decided to make a simple cabbage soup & searched for a recipe to use what i had on hand. Altho there are a ton of cabbage soup recipes on rz, none of them were exact enough to make & review in good faith. Along the way, however, i found a unique recipe & decided to use its concept for my soup. That recipe was recipe #305021 by sue l & i just happened to have a cup of coconut milk i needed to use. Was it a pure coincidence or a sign of fate? i decided to look upon it as the latter & this recipe was born. The ingredients are all pre-cooked & the amts i listed are meant to be guidelines based on what i had to work with, so feel free to vary them to suit your particular needs or preferences. *enjoy* !!
Steps
Using a blender or hand-held blender , puree half of the pre-cooked cabbage & onion mixture w / the vegetable stock.
Transfer the puree mixture to a dutch oven.

Bring soup to the starting point of a gentle boil , reduce heat to simmer & simmer 6-8 minutes.
Add coconut milk , stir to combine w / soup & remove from heat.

You are good to go , so serve it up w / crusty bread & butter & garnish top w / chives as desired.
