Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola oil or unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or 1 3-inch cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 pounds red cabbage, cored and shredded (1 medium head)
Salt to taste
7 cups water
1 tablespoon clover honey or other mild honey
4 tart apples, like Granny Smith or Pink Lady
1 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (to taste)
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup thick Greek-style plain low-fat yogurt

Steps:

  • Heat the oil or butter over medium heat in a heavy soup pot and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the spices and stir together for another few minutes, until the onion is tender. Stir in the cabbage and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the cabbage is limp, about 5 minutes. Add the water, honey and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the apples. Core one of them and slice it very thin. Place slices in a bowl of water acidulated with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and set aside. Core and either dice or slice the remaining apples. Add them to the soup, cover and continue to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the apples are tender and the soup is sweet and fragrant. Add pepper to taste, and adjust salt. Stir in the lemon juice. Serve, topping each bowl with a generous spoonful of yogurt and a few slices of apple.

Tips:

  • Cook the cabbage until tender: The cabbage should be soft and easily pierced with a fork when it is done cooking. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to add other vegetables to your soup, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, or bell peppers. This will add flavor and nutrition to the soup.
  • Season the soup to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are classic seasonings for cabbage soup. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the soup hot: Cabbage soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
