Cabbage Soup with Sausage Meatballs

After a month of grazing on Christmas food, I started to crave salads and meals with lots of vegetables. An exercise routine was added to my week as well. Have you ever tried walking/running stairs for 10 minutes? Me neither. I now can reach the 10 minutes without my legs feeling like they are burning up.

I wanted to create a soup that felt a bit lighter and not so heavy. A soup you could eat two bowls of and feel good about it. If you want to skip the whipping cream in this recipe you can.

This is my husband's new favorite soup. He is not a fan of "chick food" but this soup has won his heart.

Meatballs

1 lb. pork sausage

1/3 cup panko bread crumbs

¼ cup milk

1 egg

½ teaspoon parsley flakes

¼ teaspoon salt

In a hot soup pot add oil, then add onion and cabbage. Sauté until cabbage is translucent and starting to show some color. Add potatoes and garlic. Sauté until garlic is fragrant. Add chicken broth, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender. Stir in whipping cream.

Enjoy!
