cabbage and kale

It was a long 3 weeks without our CSA, but last week our bi-weekly shipment of winter veg boxes arrived.  It was great to again have a bounty of apples, lettuce, butternut squash, carrots and radishes, kale and cabbage.  Ahhhh kale and cabbage, cabbage and kale.  I'm not gonna lie- I am out of inspiration for cooking cabbage and kale.  I consulted my trusty food co-op group and was given recommendations for a few soup recipes using these ingredients.  I tried out two and am happy to report they were delish!

First, Kate of yinzpiration fame, suggested the following.  I made a few changes along the way, and was really pleased with the results.

Steamy!

"Japanese" (in quotes, cause inspired by but not really attributable to) soup
2 miso soup packets mixed into 2c of water
6c chicken stock
3-4 tbsp low-sodium tamari
3-4 tbsp ponzu
3-4 carrots
1/4 large head of cabbage
3 garlic cloves
1/2 onion
package of Ramen noodles 

Then Leah Best-Cook-I-Know Helou recommended this recipe from godloveit Epicurious.com. 
Made it! Delicious!

Kale and cabbage gone.  Tummy full.  And about 6 servings frozen for later lazy nights.  Success!
