Recipe Introduction
Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup
List of Ingredients
Into reserved smoked pork butt and brown sugar cooking liquid, add:
1 smoked pork butt about 3 lbs.
3 Tbl. brown sugar
2 quarts of water
Place Butt in pot large enough to hold at least 2 quarts of water (enough to cover butt), add the brown sugar and simmer on top of stove in covered pot, 40 minutes to each pound of butt.
When done, remove butt from pot but do not throw away cooking liquid. Slice and serve warm with boiled or mashed potatoes and vegetable. Sour Cream Coleslaw on the side is nice.
The wonderfully flavored cooking water is used to make a delicious soup, with the addition of cabbage, tomato, onion, potatoes.
Smoked butt is versatile and full of tender meat.
2 onions peeled and chopped
1 small head of cabbage, cored and chopped
4 peeled and seeded ripe tomatoes -OR- 1 28 oz. can ofcrushed or whole tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic, optional
2 potatoes, peeled and chopped or grated
5 whole pepper corns
2 whole cloves
Add any left over smoked butt. Cover pot and bring to a boil, lower heat and slowly cool until cabbage and potatoes are soft. (About 1 1/2 hours). Adjust seasoning, add salt if needed, add more brown sugar if needed.
The soup should have a sweet (from the brown sugar) and sour (from the acid in the tomatoes). If you like, you can add a tablespoon of good white vinegar or the juice of half a lemon to make it more sour. Should be thick and full bodied.
Serve with a dollop of Sour Cream, crusty bread, and beer for a hearty meal.
