You will need:
1 lb Cabbage (with a good heart)
1 Onion
2 oz streaky bacon rashers
1 Clove garlic
1 Large tomato
1½ pt White stock
1 oz Tapioca
Salt & Pepper
Small amount grated horseradish
½ pt Milk
How to make Cabbage soup:
Wash, dry and shred the cabbage, chop the onion and bacon, crush the garlic, skin and chop the tomato. Fry the bacon slowly in a large pan until all the fat runs freely and then add the cabbage, onion, garlic, tomato and horseradish. Shake the pan frequently and cook over a gentle heat for 5 minutes. Add boiling stock and simmer until the cabbage it very soft. Sprinkle in the tapioca and cook until it has turned transparent. Season to taste. Just before serving, stir in the milk and reheat without boiling. Serve hot with a sprinkling of grated cheese on top.
Tip:
To skin a tomato, stab with a long handled fork and hold it above a low gas ring. Rotate fork so that the whole tomato is heated. The skin will eventually split, take away from the flame and the skin will be easily removed. Be careful, as the tomato may be quite hot.
