Quintessential German: Kohlsuppe is kinda great
Traditional German Foods, explained

A while ago, my Grandma made her famous Kohlrouladen. While making it, you often get some cabbage leftover. Mostly the leaves that are too small to wrap anything inside them.
We Germans have come up with a great way to deal with that leftover cabbage.
Kohlsuppe. 
Kohlsuppe.
We chop it into bits, cook it into a soup with vegetable stock. And if desired, add some meat too. Then we have Kohlsuppe.
Contrary to Kohlrouladen, Kohlsuppe should be easy to make without any meat in it. However, my grandma usually uses loads of meat, so it takes a bit longer.
*As with Kohlrouladen and Golabki, Kohlsuppe also has its Polish equivalent called Kapuśniak.

Slightly unrelated : There is a cult classic French film "La Soupe aux Choux" (which means "The Cabbage Soup" or "Die Kohlsuppe") from 1981 : www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4KDBDQIkGI
While it's not my preferred kind of soup, it can be quite good.
I will look that up 👌
Looks like a good stew
Was really tasty. And I am not a Fan of Soup.
With or without meat, no problem!
It’s so good both ways.
With meat of course😀
Just what I thought 😊
It was kind of obvious. 😁
Not a soup fan but I'd hit this, with meat of course!
Me neither.
