Swedish Cabbage Soup with Meatballs

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 head green cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes (12 cups)
2 tablespoons honey
8 ounces ground beef or turkey
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, plus more to taste
8 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
Directions:

1
Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add cabbage and sauté until cabbage starts to release some of its liquid, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add honey. Simmer, uncovered, until the cabbage is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, combine beef or turkey, salt and pepper in a small bowl. With wet hands, shape mixture into meatballs the size of marbles. Set aside in the refrigerator.
3
Add broth and bay leaves to the cooked cabbage. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
4
Drop the meatballs into the soup and simmer until they are no longer pink inside, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Season the soup with salt and a generous grinding of pepper before serving.

Market News

What an amazing first day of December we had today. The weather was purrrfect. I could almost fool myself into thinking it was spring. I’m sure it won’t last too long, but one can keep hoping ;-)

The cooler days and nights will bring sweeter greens for your December dishes, so I guess there’s something good to be said for cold weather.

We have lots of greens, root crops, winter squash and even some fresh tomatoes hanging around this week. Don’t forget the summer squash and broccoli too.
Thank you for supporting your local food hub!
