Description

This velvety soup is a celebration of simple, wholesome ingredients transformed into a comforting and deeply flavorful experience. The base is a blend of tender savoy cabbage, fragrant thyme, crisp celery, sweet onion, and pungent garlic, simmered to a harmonious union. Once cooked, the soup is blended to a luxuriously smooth consistency, creating a blank canvas for further embellishment.

A swirl of heavy cream adds richness and body, while a scattering of sliced cabbage provides a pleasant textural contrast. The crowning glory is a generous sprinkle of diced pancetta, crisped to perfection, offering a salty, savory counterpoint to the sweetness of the cabbage and cream. This warming soup is ideal for a satisfying lunch or a light dinner, especially on chilly evenings.

Its creamy texture and nuanced flavors make it a welcome addition to any meal. The combination of sweet, savory, and salty notes is both comforting and exciting to the palate. For those seeking a dairy-free option, this soup can be easily adapted.

Simply replace the butter with olive oil or coconut oil for sautéing the vegetables. The heavy cream can be omitted or substituted with coconut cream or another dairy-free alternative. The result is a soup that retains its velvety texture and rich flavor profile, while catering to dietary restrictions.

Served hot, this creamy soup is incredibly satisfying on its own. However, for a truly indulgent experience, consider pairing it with some toasted bread for dipping. The bread soaks up the flavorful broth, adding another layer of texture and complexity to the meal.

Whether enjoyed as a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, this soup is sure to become a favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    Finely dice the onion and celery and crush the garlic. Melt a heaped tablespoon of butter in a large saucepan/Dutch oven over a low/medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and celery to the pan. Sweat gently for 3-4 minutes until tender and fragrant.
    2.
    Thinly slice the cabbage and pick the thyme leaves. Add 3 cups of the sliced cabbage and the fresh thyme to the saucepan with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and pan fry the cabbage for a minute.
    3.
    Add the stock to the saucepan. Stir well to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes to soften the cabbage. You may season with salt and pepper if desired; this will depend on the strength of seasoning in your stock.
    4.
    While the cabbage is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over a medium heat. Add the diced pancetta. Cook the pancetta through for 3-4 minutes or until crisp and golden. Set aside while you finish the soup.
    5.
    Once the cabbage is tender, you can blend the soup. Use a handheld stick blender to blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, allow the soup to cool a little, then transfer to a free standing blender and process until smooth.
    6.
    Return the cabbage soup to the heat and add the remaining half cup of sliced cabbage. Cook through gently for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage is tender. Add the heavy cream and stir through the hot soup.
    7.
    Divide the soup evenly between 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with crispy pancetta. Optionally swirl with some extra cream to serve.
