CABBAGE AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-low heat; cook onion until golden in color. Stir in flour until well blended.
• Add cabbage and carrots along with broth, salt, pepper, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently; reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes.
• Add evaporated milk and stir to blend it in. Heat through, but do not boil.
• Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper as needed.
• Sprinkle each serving with a little minced parsley and a dash of paprika, if desired. Tips One medium cabbage, weighing about 2 pounds, should produce about 4 cups of shredded cabbage . Look for a firm and blemish-free cabbage that appears heavy for its size. Use a purple cabbage or a mix of smaller purple and green cabbages for a brighter color palette. One pound of potatoes will yield about 3 cups. Leave the potatoes unpeeled for additional texture and nutrients. Use a "waxy" (as opposed to starchy) type of potato that won't fall apart in the soup. Red-skinned potatoes, Yukon Golds, or any type of new potato are good options. Be sure to remove any spots or eyes before dicing. If you want to make the soup vegan but retain its creamy texture, substitute the cooking oil of your choice for the butter and coconut milk or another nondairy milk, such as almond or flaxseed milk, for the evaporated milk.
