Yield: 4 Servings

      2 tb Vegetable oil
      1    Onion; (small) chopped
      3    Cloves garlic; minced
      3    Russet potatoes; (large)
           -- peeled and sliced (about
           -- 5
           -- cups)
     20 oz Chicken broth; (2 1/4 cups)
    1/2 c  Milk
      1 c  Cabbage; chopped
      3    Eggs
      8 oz Cottage cheese
    1/2 c  Jack cheese; (or any white
           -- melting cheese: provolone
           -- or mozzarella), 4 ounces
           -- (or use up to a cup)

Cooking potatoes: In a 1 1/2 quart stockpot, warm the oil over medium high heat.

Saute the onion and garlic until soft. Add the potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to

a boil, lower the heat, and cook covered until tender, about 30 minutes.

2. Seasoning: Stir the milk and cabbage into the potato mixture. Cook over medium

high heat about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Reduce heat to a bare

simmer.

3. Poaching eggs: Break the eggs one at a time into a small bowl and slip them into

the potato soup, being careful not to break the yolks. Cover and simmer 5 additional

minutes.

4. Thickening lorco (yes, that's what is says) and serving: While the eggs are cooking, mix together the cottage cheese and shredded cheese; stir into the soup. At

this point the soup should be thick and creamy. Garnish with avocado slices and season with hot sauce, if desired.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve a generous portion of this delicious, hearty soup with

biscuits or a good-quality bread. Or use as an ample first- course soup, followed by

a simply prepared fish (sauteed with butter, capers, and white wine) accompanied by

a salad of greens and ripe tomato. MAKES 4 SERVINGS (PORTION SIZE: 2 CUPS) From "Celebracion" by Regina Cordova and Emma Carrasco Adapted for MasterCook users by Brenda Adams <adamsfmle@sprintmail.com> posted mc-recipe 11/10/96 Recipe By : Cordova and Carrasco: Celebracion
