Cabbage Soup with Paprika, Golden Raisins and Kielbasa
Cabbage Soup with Paprika, Golden Raisins and Kielbasa This is a recipe my mom has been making for us with the cabbage we get from neighbors and our local Farmer’s Market. It’s a soup filled with lots of vegetables along with delicious sausage and bacon . It’s perfect for one of the cooler, rainy days we often get, but it’s a soup you can enjoy anytime of year! Ingredients 3-5 pounds green cabbage, cored, cut into 1 inch wide strips 2 quarts of chicken broth (or vegetable broth) 2 large yellow onions, diced 2 tablespoons garlic, minced 6 slices of bacon, diced (optional if making vegetarian) 28 oz can of diced tomatoes (low sodium, can be used) 1 1/2 pounds of kielbasa, diced (ham can always be used) (optional if making it vegetarian) 1 tablespoon sweet paprika 3/4 cup of golden raisins Olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Directions In a heavy-bottomed stock pot, heat bacon over medium heat. *starting the bacon in a cool pan renders more fat and allows you to get crispier bac
