Creamy Savoy Cabbage Soup with Bacon

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Soups
Bacon makes everything better – and cabbage is no exception. The fat from smoked bacon provides the base, lending incredible depth to the soup and masking any potential 'stew-like' cabbage notes. This is a hearty, robust cream soup that stands as a meal on its own.
