Cabbage and Apple Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cabbage and Apple Soup.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating a large pot over medium-high heat and adding your bacon pieces.

2. Step 2

   Cook them, turning occasionally, until they’re beautifully browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once done, remove the bacon and let it drain on some paper towels to absorb the excess grease.

4. Step 4

   Next, carefully pour out any leftover fat from the pot, then drizzle in some olive oil.

5. Step 5

   Toss in your chopped onion, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of caraway seeds.

6. Step 6

   Sauté this fragrant mixture until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which will take around 5 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Now it’s time to add a delightful medley of flavors: stir in the chopped apple, vegetable broth, apple cider, coarsely chopped cabbage, cider vinegar, and a touch of sugar.

8. Step 8

   Bring this vibrant mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently, partially covered, until the cabbage is tender—this should take about 20 to 30 minutes.

9. Step 9

   While the soup is bubbling away, cut your crusty bread into hearty chunks and place them at the bottom of six soup bowls.

10. Step 10

    When the soup is ready, ladle it generously over the bread, allowing it to soak up all those delicious flavors.
