Rustic Cabbage Soup
by Heather L
serves: 4
  From 101 Cookbooks: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/rustic-cabbage-soup-recipe.html
Ingredients:
  1 TBS   Olive Oil
  1/2 pound   potatoes, 1/4 inch pieces
  4 cloves   garlic, chopped
  1/2 Large onion   thinly sliced
  5 cups   stock
  1 1/2 cups   white beans, cooked
  1/2 medium   cabbage, cored and sliced into 1/4" ribbons
    Parmesan and olive oil garnish
Directions:
  Warm the olive oil in a large thick-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the salt and potatoes. Cover and cook until they are a bit tender and starting to brown a bit, about 5 minutes - it's o.k. to uncover to stir a couple times. Stir in the garlic and onion and cook for another minute or two. Add the stock and the beans and bring the pot to a simmer. Stir in the cabbage and cook for a couple more minutes, until the cabbage softens up a bit. Now adjust the seasoning - getting the seasoning right is important or your soup will taste flat and uninteresting. Taste and add more salt if needed, the amount of salt you will need to add will depend on how salty your stock is (varying widely between brands, homemade, etc)...

Serve drizzled with a bit of olive oil and a generous dusting of cheese.
