Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 1 large Carrot
• 2 Celery stalks
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 6 cups Vegetable or chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups Bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Chop the cabbage into thin strips, discarding the core. Peel and dice the carrot, and slice the celery thinly. Mince the garlic and chop the onion.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes, carrot, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the chopped cabbage and mix well.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, and add the bay leaf. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 8

While the soup simmers, mix the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 9

Once the soup is ready, discard the bay leaf. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls or ramekins, leaving a little space at the top for the cheese topping.

Step 10

Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the soup in each bowl.

Step 11

Place the bowls on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, cheese-crusted cabbage soup!
