About

A fine, filling, hearty soup which can be made light or solid, thin or thick, simple or spicy, according to your needs and tastes of the day. The “solidity” is largely controlled by the amount of potatoes. This version is fairly light, with red cabbage, smoked pork and red wine. (See menu and wine suggestions.)
