This is a very different version of cabbage soup (eg. with tomatoes) the addition of milk gives the soup a very rich tasting soup with the added bonus of calcium.

We have made this soup twice, once adding barley, with enough for the freezer each time. It was excellent both ways and we look forward to eating it again for lunch or supper. Pat & Mike C.

Noting that (once again) only salt and pepper are used for seasoning, I added curry, cayenne and tarragon. Next time, I'm going to add tomato too. A very tasty, easy to make, quick lunch! I served it with nachos & salsa.
