Savoy Cabbage Soup – Čušpajz od kelja

Author Notes

Growing up my mom cooked a lot of soups, but we didn’t call soup; soup for us was chicken or beef noodle or tomato soup (always with rice), almost everything else was called Stew or Čušpajz and it is a full meal.


This is vegan but sometimes I slice 1 or 2 smoked sausages into the soup to make heartier.
