High Fat Cabbage Soup

This is an   excellent ketogenic food. Just a hint of carbohydrates in the single potato that is added.

Ingredients

  • High potassium salt
  • Cannonball Cabbage
  • Sausage
  • Bacon
  • Potato
  • Garlic
  • Green onions
  • Mushrooms
  • Cilantro
  • Olive oil
  • Pork – Tenderloin works well
  • Brocoli
  • Oregano

Use your own tastes to proportion the ingredients.  Cabbage boils down to a lower volume after cooking so you need to load up on it. The soup broth base comes from the fat.  Cabbage in high season will be sweet enough to provide counterpoint and the green flavor. 

Steps

  1. Sautee chopped onion in an open pressure cooker with olive oil.
  2. Add all the rest of the ingredients except the salt to a pressure cooker. 
  3. Add salt after pressure cook is finished to adjust saline levels.  Sausage varies in salt content so after cooking so taste testing for adjustment is a must.

Variants

  • Replace one of the meats with <> pork chops, ribs, chicken etc.  Your replacement should have adequate fat to supply the soup base

THE JOURNAL OF NICHOLAS CRESSWELL

Cresswell was the son of a landowner and sheep farmer in Crowden-le-Booth, Edale, Derbyshire. At the age of 24 he sailed to the American colonies after becoming acquainted with a native of Edale who was now resident in Alexandria, Virginia. For the next three years he kept a journal of his experiences, along with comments on political issues. He became unpopular due to his opposition to the independence cause in the American War of Independence. Cresswell returned to England, and after a failed attempt to receive a commission from the ex-governor of Virginia, John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, he returned to Edale to resume farming. He died in Idridgehay in 1804.

He wrote a journal while he was in the Americas. He recorded most of his time alive. Now the journal is very famous
