Hello, this is Chef John from Foodwishes.com with Polish cabbage roll soup.

00:06

That's right, I'm going to show you what to make when you want cabbage rolls, but

00:11

you don't want to actually make cabbage rolls, which are amazing, but do take a little bit of time and effort.

00:18

And not only did this satisfy my craving, it was one of the most delicious and

00:23

comforting soups I've had in a while. And to get started, we'll go ahead and prep up a nice big green cabbage, which we will start by cutting it in half.

00:31

And of course, once we get our knife started, we will move any and

00:35

all fingers above the blade, so that way, as we slice down, there is zero chance we're going to cut ourselves.

00:41

And then once halved, we'll go ahead and

00:44

cut out the core at the bottom using two cuts at about a 45 degree angle. And yes, I did luck out, since that was like the smallest core I've ever seen.

00:53

And then once that's been removed, we can lay our cabbage down on the flat side and

00:57

then slice this into about one or one and a half inch strips. All right, you decide, but once you pick a size, try to stick with it.

01:05

And that's it, we'll simply turn those strips and

01:08

slice across into bite-sized pieces, whatever that means to you.

01:12

But my general strategy with soup is that everything should fit on the spoon.

01:16

And that's it, we'll cut the other half up the same way, which I won't make you watch. All right, half is plenty. And what we'll do is set

01:24

that aside and head to the stove, where we will melt an entire stick of butter over medium-high heat in a soup pot.

01:31

And once our butter is melted, we can go ahead and.

01:34

Toss in a diced onion, and we'll also go ahead and toss in ourselves.
