Step 1

Place the cabbage in a large bowl. Pour enough boiling water over the cabbage to cover it. Let the cabbage stand in the water for 5 minutes. Drain well. Pat it dry with paper towels and cut the cabbage into thin slices.

Step 2

Add canola oil to a large heavy saucepan. Sauté the onions until they are tender but not brown (about 10 minutes). Add the cabbage and cubed potato and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. Add the nutmeg and flour and stir for 2 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually add the milk and broth. Bring it to a boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Set it aside to cool.

Step 4

Purée the soup in batches, if necessary, in a blender or food processor until it is smooth. Return the soup to the saucepan, season with salt and pepper. Bring it to a simmer, ladle into bowls and sprinkle with parsley, chives, and Parmesan.
