Zelna Hlava Plnena

Description
Yet another I've pulled out of "The Czechoslovak Cookbook". Of course I had to add garlic to the recipe :) Also for a little extra kick you can use some spicy bloody mary mix instead of the cream of tomato soup. I hope you enjoy this, we sure do.

 * 1 head cabbage
 * 1 medium onion, chopped
 * 1/4 cup butter
