I had planned an early Saint Patrick’s Day dinner for the family but several of my family members came down with a bad cold. So guess what? Dinner was canceled! So now what was I going to do with this big head of cabbage I had. One night I fired it up as a side dish (always delicious) but I still had some left over. So I decided to make some soup for my sick family members. It was very well received and very much appreciated.
