[recipe] Cabbage Soup

[Guest guest]

This is not what we are having for dinner today, but

i do have it on this week's menu. This soup can express

winter's goodness to me. If you leave out the optional

garnish of sour cream it is perfectly vegan as well.

As with most soups, this tastes even better the next day

when the flavors have time to really blend with eachother.

Enjoy.
