It's my mother's side that is Lithuanian, and we eat a LOT of really good Polish food.
This soup (forgive the not-so-specific) has been passed down from generation to generation. It's not fancy, it's not hard...it's just comforting and delicious!
It's so simple to make, even after years of making it, I still feel like I am forgetting something!
There are no extra spices, just salt and pepper to taste.
Ingredients:
Pork
One head of cabbage
One large can of crushed tomato
6 cups of Water
Bayleaf
Directions:
1. Pour water into a soup pot
2. Shred cabbage, add to pot
3. Dice pork, add to pot
4. Add tomato
5. Add bayleaf
6. Cook until pork is cooked and cabbage is tender

You do want the liquid in the pot to reduce by a few inches...it will make for stronger flavors.

This is certainly a simple soup, but I find cabbage adds amazing flavor to soup and can be very comforting on a cold day. Visiting from Modest Monday.

My mother used to make something similar, though we're originally from the region of the former Yugoslavia. Cabbage is such a staple in our diet growing up. All that to say, I love your recipe and would definitely try making this at home! Thank you for sharing :)
