Recipe for creamy green soup with cabbage, leeks, and crunchy topping
Have you ever tried making soup with cabbage..?
This one is with pointed cabbage and leeks – hence the nice green color.
The soup is creamy and flavorful, super healthy and really easy to make – and it’s also a great way to use up leftover greens.
The soup is made very simply by cooking all the ingredients together, adding a little cream, blending and seasoning – voila. And then you can go crazy with whichever topping you prefer.
Here, I’ve added a bit of crunch in the form of small baked potato cubes and crispy bacon.
