This creamy cabbage velouté is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it comes together in just an hour and costs almost nothing to make. Cabbage is incredibly affordable and packed with vitamin C, which really boosts your immune system. The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity: you just sauté your aromatics, add the cabbage with some broth, let it simmer until tender, then blend it all into a silky smooth soup. A splash of heavy cream finishes it off beautifully. It's the kind of comforting, elegant dish that makes you feel like you've spent all day cooking when really you've barely lifted a finger.
