One Simple Step Elevates The Flavor Of Cabbage Soup

Once the cabbage has cooked down significantly and developed a golden-brown color, it's ready to go! 

This process should take about 45 minutes, if you're caramelizing a whole head of cabbage, but relying on visual cues and flavor is a better tell of when it's done.

There's no harm in a little taste to make sure the sweet and nutty flavors have fully developed.

Now you're ready to add the greens to your cabbage soup recipe as usual, but if you're up for more experimenting, try adding extra ingredients that play up the cabbage's sweetness even more.

If you've caramelized the onions with the cabbage already, you're one step closer to a delicious soup full of rich and complex flavors.

Other veggies like chopped celery, bell peppers, or carrots always lend a hand, especially if you brown them before tossing them in the pot, as well. This unlocks their naturally sweet qualities. 

And bacon is always an excellent partner to cabbage, especially if you add chopped bacon to the pan to cook with the greens, caramelizing them in the rendered fat.
