Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or grated
  • 4 cups cabbage finely sliced
  • teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
  • 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • ½ cup milk {I used 2% but you can use your favorite}
  • ½ cup half & half or heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill {or 1 ½ tablespoons dried dill}

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, cabbage and sprinkle with sea salt. Sautee until the veggies have softened, but not browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in frozen hash browns. Add vegetable broth, cover, and bring to a boil -- about 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Scoop about half {or less if you prefer a chunkier soup} of the mixture out into the blender. Let cool slightly {blending very hot liquids can be dangerous!}. Add milk, half and half and fresh dill to the mixture in the blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  • Add the blended mixture back into the rest of the soup in the pot. Stir and allow to come to a simmer and heat through completely. Serve hot and garnish with extra dill if desired.

Notes

Variations
  • Cabbage Soup with Ground Beef or Sausage. Brown ground beef or sausage in the pot first, then once it's cooked, scoop it onto a plate and continue the recipe as directed using the same pot. Add the meat back in during the last few minutes of cooking to warm it through.
  • No hash browns? No problem! If you prefer to use regular potatoes instead of frozen hash browns, you can either use a grater to create your own hash browns and keep the cooking time the same, or cut the potatoes into a fine dice and add a few more minutes to the cooking time to ensure that the pieces soften and cook through all the way.
  • If you prefer to use diced, sliced, or larger potato chunks, add them to the pot with the rest of the vegetables in step 1 to help soften them. Boil them in the broth mixture until fork-tender.
Diet-Specific Substitutions
  • Vegan or dairy-free. Swap out the milk and heavy cream with your favorite vegan substitution such as plant-based milk and cream.
