Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 5 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 2

Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice the leaves. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced cabbage to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and starts to wilt.

Step 6

Stir in the cubed potatoes and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. For a fully creamy texture, blend the entire soup, or leave some chunks for a more rustic feel.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the cream through and let the flavors meld.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal. Enjoy!
