Ingredients

• 1 small head (about 1.5 lbs) Green cabbage
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 medium (about 1 lb) Potatoes
• 5 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 ounces Crumbled blue cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: remove the core from the cabbage and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion finely, mince the garlic, and peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped potatoes and cabbage, coating them in the butter and allowing them to cook for 5–6 minutes until the cabbage begins to soften and wilt.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender (or a countertop blender in batches), purée the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, only partially blend the soup.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and crumbled blue cheese, allowing the cheese to melt into the soup. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors together. If the soup is too thick, you can thin it with a bit more vegetable broth or water.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh chives if desired, and serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
