Cabbage Potage

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the carrots, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

3. 3

   Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the cabbage, tomato paste, and white wine to the pot. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.

   Tip: Be careful not to overcook the cabbage.

5. 5

   Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches.

6. 6

   Return the soup to the pot and stir in the dairy until melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

7. 7

   Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley and crusty bread on the side, if desired.
