We went to Cologne Germany a few months ago. One evening we all went on a beer crawl we had a blast…is all I will say. I am sure we got a little loud and made fools of our selfs, any way we did have a lot of fun. We fell in love with their beer and cabbage soup…who knew cabbage soup could be so good, not me? I am sorry cabbage soup just sounds awful to me it…really does, but I have a new opinion of the whole cabbage thing now after our trip to Germany. Keep an open mind, right? I mean it is really is so good, really good. Not at all what I was expecting. After getting home I could not get that soup off my mind. I got in the kitchen and got to work. My son was home for the weekend and he had the same reaction I did yuk what ever did you make that for…. gross…then he tried it, he did not come up for air. We stood there laughing he looked up and said boy this is really good mom, really delicious what did you put in that? yea, it is good huh? This is a great recipe for this time of the year….hope you enjoy it!
