Chile Cabbage Soup

Serves 6
Ingredients
• 1 small green cabbage
• 1 large potato
• 1 large leek
• 3 tbsp of butter
• 4 cups chicken stock

Directions
1. Finely shredded the cabbage.  Peel the potato and cut into small shoestring type strips.   Cut the leek thinly.

4. Stir in the cheese and serve.
