Italian Cabbage Soup
Warm and Comforting
Great Cabbage Soup for a cold day. This easy to make soup is filling and inviting and will definitely be a hit among family and friends. Make this soup early in the morning to give all the flavors a chance to blend.
The combination of the pancetta, smoked pork butt and cabbage makes a great tasting soup. The beans will thicken the soup slightly and the addition the thyme or even basil will give it a great flavor you won’t forget.
Just top this hearty Cabbage Soup with a little parmesan cheese and your ready to go. Of course, as with any soup, don’t forget the bread.
