Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large soup pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the carrots, cabbage, and potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
