My cousin, Robin, made a cream of cabbage soup when we were all living at Grandma Robinson's house. She added whole peppercorns rather than cracked pepper, as the recipe called for, and as a result it was very spicy. The soup had nothing added but the cabbage, and it has taken me a long time to find this recipe as she lost the recipe she used...
