INSTRUCTIONS

The idea of cabbage soup may not thrill you, but just try this one.
Use the freshest, greenest cabbage and take great care not to  overcook
it. Cook and eat, don't reheat! The Crispy Seaweed can be  used as a
garnish or served separately, as an appetizer.  Melt the butter in a
heavy pan. When it foams, add the potatoes and  onions and turn them in
the butter until well coated. Sprinkle with  salt and pepper. Cover and
sweat on low heat for 10 minutes. Add the  stock (heat it first if you
want to speed things up) and cook until  the potatoes are soft. Add the
cabbage and cook, uncovered, until the  cabbage is just cooked - a
matter of 4 to 5 minutes. Keeping the lid  off retains the green color.
To make the Crispy Seaweed, remove the outer leaves from the cabbage
and cut out the stalks. Roll the leaves into cigar shapes and slice
across into the thinnest possible shreds with a very sharp knife.  Heat
the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F . Toss in some cabbage  and
cook for just a few seconds. As soon as it starts to crisp,  remove and
drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and sugar. Toss,  and serve
as a garnish on the soup or just nibble; it's quite  addictive - worse
than peanuts or popcorn!  Pure the soup in a blender or food processor.
Taste and adjust the  seasoning. Add the cream before serving. Serve
alone or with a mound  of Crispy Seaweed on top.  MC formatted & Busted
