Fall is right around the corner and with that comes sweater weather, mugs of warm drinks, crackling fireplaces – and of course soup!
This cabbage potato soup recipe is admittedly inspired by one of my favorite video games of all time – so any mention of +health or +stamina is in reference to that. I mean, let’s face it. When your health meter is running low, there’s nothing better than ten bowls of this stuff to make you feel right again.
For what it’s worth, I’ve made this soup many times and it’s a spin-off of a classic potato soup my mother used to make. It’s just as good – if not better than her version. And if mom’s soup isn’t worth +10 on the health and stamina meters, I don’t know what is.

In a very large saucepan or stock pot, bring vegetable stock and water to a gently rolling boil.
Add cabbage and potatoes to pot, stirring to combine potatoes and cabbage thoroughly. Add seasoning to top and mix.
