Cabbage Soup


Cabbage Soup

4 slices bacon, cut up into pieces about 1/2 inch wide
2 leeks or 1 medium onion
5 or 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup chicken broth
4 tbsp chicken flavored soup base
4 cups (or more) water
1 can diced tomatoes - do not drain
1 lb bag of cole slaw mix (or a meduim head of cabbage, shredded)

Cook the bacon in the bottom of a large pot until crisp.  Meanwhile, cut the leeks into 1/2 inch slices and separate into rings.  Use the white bulb and some of the green stems.  Rinse well to remove dirt.  Drain.
Put leeks in the pan with the bacon and stir to deglaze the pan.  Add the potatoes and 1 cup of chicken broth.   Add tomatoes and a can full of water.  Cook until potatoes are very soft, adding water as needed.  Add soup bases andm stir well. 
Stir in cole slaw mix and cook just long enough to soften the cabbage.

Raspberry Slaw


Cabbage, shredded - green or red (Red is especially nice for this) about 3-4 cups
Dried cranberries - 1/3 cup
Slivered almonds - 1/4 cup
3 or 4 Scallions, sliced
Raspberry vinaigrette dressing, enough to 'wet' the cabbage ( I like Marzetti's Light Raspberry Cabernet)

Quantities can be varied to your tastes. Mix all ingredients except dressing in a large bowl. Just before serving, stir in the dressing and mix well.
