If you like cabbage you will really enjoy this chowder. We saw a recipe for a creamy cabbage soup but it just seemed too boring so we added little bits of this and that and made something that actually turned out to be very filling and tasty. Nothing fancy here ... add extra things you thing you might enjoy like a protein .. perhaps ham or Kielbasa would be nice. I was informed that next time I need to plop some dumplings on top !
