About Kapsasupp
Kapsasupp is Estonian cabbage soup, and Grandma Veera’s family rendition combines fresh cabbage with bone-in pork, carrots and potatoes. The vegetables and meat share a savoury broth with a substantial, homely character.
Onion, peppercorns and bay leaves give the soup its aromatic foundation. Dill, spring onion, celery and parsley add a green, fragrant finish around the mild sweetness of the cabbage and carrots.
The soup is presented as a generous bowl containing both pork and vegetables. Soft cabbage, pieces of root vegetables and the meat provide varied textures in the savoury liquid.
