Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low, add 2 cups of chopped cabbage and 1 cup of chopped kale, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup to your desired consistency.
Stir in 1 cup of milk, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and heat for another 5 minutes.
