Wisconsin Dutch Cabbage Soup, also known as Wisconsin Potato Soup, is a hearty and filling soup that's perfect for the cold winter days. This soup originated in the rural areas of Wisconsin, where the chilly weather called for a warm and comforting meal that could be prepared using simple ingredients. The soup is traditionally made using cabbage, sauerkraut, and potatoes. However, this recipe skips the potatoes and uses egg yolks and heavy cream to add a creamy texture to the soup. The sauerkraut adds a tangy flavor to the dish, making it a unique and delicious option for any meal.

Instructions

1.	In a pot, cook shredded cabbage in water until it's tender.
2.	Add the sauerkraut and continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with heavy cream and melted butter.
4.	Add a cup of hot soup to the egg mixture and whisk well.
5.	Pour the tempered egg mixture into the pot with the hot soup and stir well.
6.	Bring the soup to a gentle boil while stirring constantly.
7.	Season with salt, to taste.
8.	Serve hot and enjoy!
