Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 large Carrot
- 2 Celery stalks
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 6 cups Vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Set aside.
Chop the cabbage into thin strips, discarding the core. Peel and dice the carrot, and slice the celery thinly. Mince the garlic and chop the onion.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes, carrot, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the chopped cabbage and mix well.
Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, and add the bay leaf. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
While the soup simmers, mix the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs in a bowl. Set aside.
Once the soup is ready, discard the bay leaf. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls or ramekins, leaving a little space at the top for the cheese topping.
Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the soup in each bowl.
Place the bowls on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, cheese-crusted cabbage soup!
