Surprisingly good

I guess I thought the cabbage would taste odd but it didn't. It gave the whole thing some body and crunch. The addition of the bacon gave this the taste of a thick potato soup. This is another one that will go on the permanent list. Oh, and I added a lot more cabbage. We like our veggies.
