easy cabbage potato soup

I love potatoes any way they are cooked. Unfortunately, they are too high in potassium for kidney disease patients. This is my adaptation using only one potato and substituting cauliflower for one potato. It is also low in salt. Double boiling potatoes is a way of reducing the potassium. Drain the water from the potatoes both times. Do not use the potato water in the soup. If you are not a kidney patient you can cook the potatoes along with the other vegetables. This soup is tasty for anyone.
