Cab-Co-Po (recipe)

Get your attention?  I just made a very yummy & quite versatile soup.  So excited to share it with you & can't wait for lunch tomorrow!!


Cab-Ca-Po Soup

1 Large onion, minced
1/3 - 1/2 Serrano pepper, seeded & minced (I didn't have one of these & was still yummy!)
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 new potatoes, sliced in quarters (skin on)
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup water, divided (I used vege broth)
1 head cabbage, chopped
2 large carrots, peeled & finely chopped
salt
black pepper
2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes with liquid OR 4 fresh tomatoes sliced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 14oz package turkey sausage cut into small pieces (also didn't add this)

Heat a Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium-high heat.  Saute onion & Serrano in olive oil.  Add potatoes, butter & 1/2 cup water (or broth).  Cook on medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, or until slightly tender.

Add 1/2 cup water (or broth) and remaining ingredients.  Reduce heat & simmer till cabbage, potatoes & carrots are tender -- approximately 30 minutes.  Stir periodically.  Adjust seasoning to taste.

Be Blessed & Healthy!!!
