Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup chopped carrots (from 4 medium carrots, peeled)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Crushed red pepper flakes
Handful fresh cherry tomatoes, halved (about 10 small cherry tomatoes)
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
64 ounces vegetable stock (2 quarts) (8 cups), plus more if desired
1 medium head cabbage, cored and chopped (about 1 3/4 pounds)
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 loaf your favorite French bread, sliced on the diagonal
Olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
Minced garlic, for topping (optional)
Flaky or crystal sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the soup: Heat the olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent (not browned), about 8 minutes. Add salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to your desired preference. Then stir in the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring the entire mixture to a boil.
  • Once boiling, stir in the cabbage and beans and keep it simmering, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Add more stock or water if you prefer more liquid and taste and season with more salt and pepper, if necessary. When finished, sprinkle over and stir in the parsley for color and flavor.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crostini or garlic bread, if desired.
  • For the crostini: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil. You can also smear minced garlic over the top, if desired.
  • Bake until crunchy and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Take the crostini out of the oven, drizzle the tops with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over the top.

SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE SOUP



Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup image

My version of an old favorite Ashkenazi Jewish recipe. I make a stock first, then make the soup. This allows for de-fatting for a healthier soup, but you need to make this on two days, so time accordingly. For a healthier version, use sucralose instead of sugar - there is virtually no taste difference in sweet and sour recipes such as this one. Using Savoy cabbage gives the soup superlative texture and flavor.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Cabbage Soup Recipes

Time P1DT7h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 pounds bone-in beef shank
12 cups water
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
3 onions, peeled
4 stalks celery with leaves
1 bay leaf
16 peppercorns
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika
1 head Savoy cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 lemon, juiced
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the beef shanks and water in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a very low simmer. Use a strainer to skim off any foam on the surface. Add the carrot pieces, whole onions, celery stalks, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Simmer for 4 hours, skimming the surface occasionally.
  • Strain the stock. Discard the vegetables but reserve the meat. Allow the stock to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a covered container and refrigerate overnight. When the beef shanks are cool, remove the meat from the bones. Discard bones and gristle. Dice the meat and any remaining marrow into small cubes. Cover the container and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, heat the vegetable oil in a stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and 1 diced onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and cook 1 additional minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly wilted and reduced in bulk, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove the beef stock from the refrigerator; skim and discard any fat. Pour the stock into the pot; stir in the reserved chopped beef. Add the tomatoes with their juice. Bring the soup to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the soup, partially covered, until the cabbage is quite soft, about 1 hour.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper. Add more water, if desired, for a thinner soup. Cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Taste and adjust the seasonings before serving.

CREAM OF CABBAGE SOUP



Cream of Cabbage Soup image

Meet the Cook: There were 11 children in my family when I was growing up, and my husband and I have seven grown children (and now eight grandchildren).

Even kids who don't care for vegetable soup may enjoy this one. Very good flavor. Sometimes I use crushed tomatoes with garlic, onion, or basil now that they're available. Turkey smoked sausage is great in this recipe!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most commonly used variety for cabbage soup, but you can also use red or savoy cabbage. Fresh, firm cabbage heads with tightly packed leaves will yield the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in cabbage soup should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and green beans. This will add flavor and nutrients to the soup.
  • Season the soup to taste: Cabbage soup is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Serve the soup hot: Cabbage soup is best served hot, with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Cabbage soup is a healthy, delicious, and affordable meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a pot of cabbage soup that the whole family will enjoy.
