* 1 large leek washed, and sliced finely
* 4 tbsp butter
* 6 cup vegetable or chicken stock
* salt to taste
* freshly-ground white pepper to taste
* 1 cup coarsely-grated Muenster cheese
== Directions ==
# Melt the butter over medium heat in a Dutch oven.
# When bubbly, stir in the cabbage, potatoes, and leeks - tossing with a wooden spoon for about 4 to 5 minutes until the cabbage and leeks are wilted.
# Pour in the stock, season to taste, bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
# Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the cabbage is tender.
# When ready to serve, ladle into bowls and grate the cheese directly on top of each serving.
