Old Bohemian cabbage soup from A to Z
The stepping stone is to drain the cabbage, which you then finely chop and cook. Then prepare the potatoes for the soup. Chop and boil these too. The cooking time is around twenty minutes. Next, prepare a roux of flour and milk, which you then add to the pot with the cooked cabbage. After cooking for a while, add the prepared potatoes and the remaining ingredients. These are the browned sausages and onions cut into rings. Again, a bit of that simmering is in order, during which you pour the remaining quarter or so of milk you left at the end into the soup.
The last stage is stirring in sour cream. However, add it to the Old Bohemian cabbage soup when the soup is cooked. You can start seasoning with salt and pepper. Old Bohemian cabbage soup looks great on the plate in combination with finely chopped parsley.
