Excellent and easy to make! I added 1/2 tsp of garlic powder.

Great basic recipe. I added garlic powder, cayenne pepper and a dash uf cumin. I added the cabbage after it came to a boil, and I cooked it on simmer for a while longer than suggested. I added milk (didn't have cream) just before it was done cooking.

With all the ingredients readily on hand I threw this soup together in a flash. It smelled so good on the cook-top that I couldn't wait to scoop out a taste. I am writing this review while sitting here spooning this wonderful soup into my mouth! I only needed to adjust the salt a touch, otherwise made exactly as directed. Fabulous soup, Lorac!! This is one recipe I will definitely make again and again. Thank you for taking the time to share this wonderful recipe!
