Would like 2 Soup Recipes Please, Cabbage and Smoked Sausage & Lobster bisque

I use Bob Wardens recipe for the cabbage soup in his first pressure cooker book that is very good. Don't know if that helps you if you don't have a pressure cooker. Not a fan of lobster so can't help with that one.

yes I do have a pressure cooker, 2 in fact. I have an electric one and one that is for the stove top which I use mostly since I feel I have more control. I cook with gas and feel that one works better for me.

would you please post Bob's recipe, thank you

DH loves lobster bisque but this was the first we ever had it that it was pure white and tasted very creamy and had a great lobster taste.

Here's a link to a lobster bisque that Barbarainnc posted recently.

thank you, went there and copied it. Sounds good and will try it but going to add diced potatoes, onions, celery and maybe a touch of garlic to it since the one we had did have diced potatoes, onions and celery in and I usually put garlic in almost anything I can, not much in this though of course, thanks again, does look good and sure sounds easy.

While it's not soup, may I suggest Polish Kapososta. It's simple, delicious comfort food!

1 # Polish sausage, cut into 2" pieces on an angle

1 head cabbage, shredded

1/2 cup water, more as needed

1 t. dill seeds

black pepper to taste

2 cups cubed, peeled potatoes

1/4 cup butter

Slice sausage and layer under shredded cabbage in large pan. Add water and seasonings and cook over low heat, stirring frequently in covered pot for 1-2 hours. Boil potatoes in separate pot. When potatoes are almost tender, drain and add to sausage mixture. Continue to heat and stir mixture together. Add butter and serve hot.

Here it is---

CABBAGE SOUP WITH POLISH SAUSAGE

2 T butter

1 onion, sliced

1 1/2 t minced garlic

4 cups sliced cabbage

2 c red spuds, sliced or diced into 1/2 " cubes

8 oz kielbasa sausage

2 cups chicken broth

2 cups veg broth

1 T white vinegar

1 T parsley

1 bay leaf

1 t celery salt or seed

1 t sugar

1/4 t black pepper

1---Add butter to cooker and set on high or brown. Saute onions and garlic until a little brown or translucent.

2---Add remaining ingredients and stir. Securely lock on the lid and set to high and cook for 4 minutes.

3---Perform quick release and serve.

I use all of the same kind of broth and use the whole packaged turkey kielbasa. I also buy the packaged , shredded cabbage too. It's good with a little sour cream on top too

Better Than Bouillon makes a jarred lobster base (kind of a paste form) with a recipe on the back that wasn't spicy, but you could back off the paprika and leave out the tomato paste if you wish. (I tried it with the one cup of dry sherry and found it a bit strong tasting, so I reduced the amount the next time and added the difference in water.) It's easy-peasy and quite good. I bought my jar at soupsonline.com and later found it at Publix.
