Many people know this dish to be one that aids weight lose, but to a cabbage lover like myself this dish is purely delightful. i got this recipe from the web and decided to alter it just a pinch. for those who like cabbage try this soup it is delicious and those of you who are completely terrified of cabbage give it a go, if you don't like it you can always use the other half of the cabbage head for some wonderful coleslaw.
warning i don't do measurements very well, i'm one to cook with feelings and spontaneity
cabbage soup
olive oil
1/2 onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic chopped (already minced garlic is great and eliminates the struggle of attempting to chop those cloves so small, i would just add about 2 teaspoons. like more garlic add more and less or none if you don't favor garlic)
8 cups of water
9 chicken bouillon cubes or 4 teaspoons of chicken bouillon
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1/2 head of cabbage cored and chopped coarsely
1 (14.5 ounce) can of italian stewed tomatoes drained and diced (you can just buy a can of diced italian tomatoes eliminating the dicing part)
first add olive oil to your pot along with the garlic and onions let them cook about five minutes, until soft. i also like to season my veggies add a little salt and pepper.
next stir in the water, bouillon, salt and pepper. bring to a boil.
next add the cabbage.
simmer until the cabbage wilts, this takes around 10 minutes.
finally stir in the drained tomatoes and return to a boil. simmer for 15-30 minutes, stirring often.
i decided to keep a little of the cabbage out and make a small side of this simplistic coleslaw.
all this recipe calls for is cabbage, mayonaise, vinegar, and sugar (all to taste).
this recipe is a nice base in which you can add to (carrots, red cabbage, whatever you desire).
i like to top this soup with crutons, but use whatever soup toppers you prefer. also if you want more seasoning options add some italian seasoning or crushed red pepper for a nice little kick.
enjoy!!
