Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1/2 cup chopped onion
-
1 cup finely chopped cabbage, packed
-
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
-
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
1/4 teaspoon paprika
-
1 cup low-fat milk
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
1 (15 ounce) box frozen pierogies, potato and cheese filling, thawed partially
Instructions
- Partially thaw the pierogies enough to cut through.
- Cut each pierogie lengthwise, then 3 times crosswise, so each will be cut into 8 pieces. Don't worry if they rip or fall apart.
- In a soup pot, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cabbage; sauté for 5-7 minutes or until onions are translucent. Do not brown.
- Add the cut up pierogies and chicken broth.
- Add the garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and gently simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the milk and cheese. Cook and stir over low heat until heated through and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Serve!
