Introduction

A very simple but filling soup. Warms the body and feeds it too.

My Kids even eat this one and like it. I tell them it's Charlie Bucket's cabbage soup (like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

Ingredients

    2 Pork chops(fat removed) cut up into small bite sized pieces
    1 medium onion chopped finely
    1 medium head of cabbage sliced thin
    1 tablespoon of minced garlic
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Paprika to taste (optional)
    6-10 cups of water

Directions

*This soup is so easy, just remember to stir it every few minutes so it doesn't burn*
.
Put a pot on the stove and turn it on, while it is heating cut up the pork into small bite size chunks. Put those into your heated pan. Chop the onion into small pieces, I do mine really fine and thin so my kids can't see them, but do them the way you like it.
Cook the onion and pork together till pork is completely cooked, the onions will turn brown, I salt a little at this point.

Once the pork is cooked I add anywhere between 6-10 cups of water, depending on how many people are going to eat it, and depends on the size of your pot. Bring it to a full boil. Let boil for 5 minutes.

Slice your cabbage into long thin "noodle" like pieces, and add to your boiling soup.

You can add any veggies at this point if you want to add anything else to it.

Turn the stove down to simmer, just below medium works best on my stove. Put a lid on the pot, and let simmer at least 20 minutes, so the flavors have enough time to intermingle.

Sprinkle on a little paprika, and serve, we eat it with some whole grain wheat bread. Makes a nice dinner.


Variation: this soup can be made with any kind of meat you want. Chicken tastes great in it.
