Ingredients
1
head
cabbage, thinly sliced
1 - 2
64 ounce container
tomato juice
4
ounces
bacon, sliced into ½ inch slices
Instructions
RInse cabbage and cut pole to pole.
Thinly slice cabbage - about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick slices.
Slice bacon into ½ inch pieces.
Place bacon in a single layer in the bottom of a soup pot. I use an eight or 12 quart pot.
Put water on the stove to boil - about 2-4 cups.
Cook until bacon is done.
Remove bacon pieces, leaving the fat and drippings in the pot.
Add the cabbage to the pan.
Pour boiling water to cover the bottom of the pot by about an inch or so.
Cover the pot and steam the cabbage for about 15-20 minutes.
Check to see if the cabbage is done by tasting a piece with a thick rib. If it is not done, steam for a few more minutes and check again.
Add the tomato juice (see article and pictures above for how much to add.)
Stir in the bacon.
Cook until soup is heated through and serve.
