How to Make Baked Cabbage Soup

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced cabbage and sauté until wilted, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a deep, oven-safe pot (at least 6-quart), arrange the toasted wheat bread slices to line the bottom.
  4. Spread the cooked cabbage mixture evenly over the bread.
  5. Top with the julienned Italian sausage (or your choice of meat) and then sprinkle generously with shredded Gruyère cheese (or your choice of cheese).
  6. Pour the chicken or vegetable stock over the layered ingredients.
  7. Cover the pot and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
  8. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is beautifully browned and bubbly.
