Description

Cabbage soup is prepared slowly: all the ingredients are first simmered in a cast-iron pot, then left to steep for another day, and finally baked under a lid made of puff pastry to achieve its final flavor and appearance. The rich aroma comes from the combination of meat broth, caraway seeds, bacon with garlic, and fresh dill, which are added at the very end. When you lift this time capsule and remove the pastry lid, a thick, hearty aroma wafts out that takes the breath away from all who are about to enjoy it.
