Ingredients
- 6 trips Bacon cut into small pieces
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cups cabbage chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (14 fluid ounce) can tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 large russet potato peeled & diced
- 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the bacon up (I do this quickly using kitchen shears) and add it to a soup pot. Fry until crispy, then transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate and leave 2-3 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pot.
- Add the onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat.
- Stir in the cabbage and cook for another 6-8 minutes or until the onions and cabbage are lightly browned.
- Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato sauce, broth, paprika, Italian seasoning, the potato, and about 3/4 of the cooked bacon (reserve the rest for topping bowls). Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Once it's boiling, reduce the heat and simmer with the lid slightly ajar for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the cream and season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve and top the bowls with the rest of the bacon.
