Farmer Boy Recipe - Country Cabbage Soup

Here's a comforting soup that will ward off winter, or help relieve that springtime cold!  This is an "Age Old" remedy for keeping a cold in check.  And it is simple to prepare!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 medium-sized onion, finely chopped (any variety)
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 quarts of chicken broth (or water with a couple bouillon cubes in it)
• salt & pepper
• 1/2 of a medium-sized head of cabbage, chopped or shredded
• 1 can (14.5 oz.) of Stewed Tomatoes, drained & diced

Directions: In a large pot, add enough oil to saute the onion, garlic, and the cabbage.  Add the stock, salt and pepper to taste.  Add the shredded cabbage and cover the pot.  Bring to a boil.  Then turn the heat down and simmer for about 12 - 15 minutes.  Then add the tomatoes.  Cover and simmer for an additional 20 - 30 minutes.  That's it!

The only improvements I could think of giving this soup would be to top it with grated Parmesan cheese.

If everyone in the house eats this, it should be okay - if not, well... burn a candle & use mouthwash before you kiss!  And, Vampires, beware!
