POTATO AND CABBAGE SOUP

Potato and Cabbage Soup image

I traced this hearty soup recipe to my great-grandmother, whose parents were potato farmers in Ireland. My mom served many a bowlful of this soup while I was growing up, and I've done the same for my family.-Pat Rimmel, Ford City, Pennsylvania
