Categories     Soup/Stew     Tomato     Vegetarian     Simmer

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup minced or grated onion
1 cup peeled thinly sliced carrots
1 28-ounce can plum tomatoes in purée
1 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 pounds cabbage (tough outer leaves, core and ribs removed), sliced into 1/4-inch-wide ribbons.
1/2 cup golden raisins
Fresh ground (preferably medium grind) black pepper
Sour cream, optional.

Steps:

  • Time: 3 hours 1. In a 6-quart pot over medium-low heat, heat olive oil and add garlic. Cover and cook until garlic is tender but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add onion, and sauté until translucent. Add 3 cups water, carrots, tomatoes and purée, tomato paste, ketchup, brown sugar and bay leaf. Simmer at a lively bubble for 10 minutes, then crush whole tomatoes with potato masher or fork. Continue to simmer until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf. 2. Using an immersion blender, or working in batches with a stand blender, process mixture until it is coarse, not puréed. Return sauce to pot and add lemon juice, cabbage ribbons and 3 cups water. Place over medium-high heat and cook at a lively simmer until cabbage is cooked to taste, from al dente to meltingly soft, 1 to 2 hours. Add 3 to 6 cups water, to thin to desired consistency. Ten minutes before serving, stir in raisins and a few twists of black pepper. If desired, garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream. Yield: 8 servings.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but this soup was surprisingly good. The broth was flavorful and the cabbage was tender. I would definitely make it again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually add whatever I have on hand, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, and green beans.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a little bit of ground beef or sausage to it to make it even more hearty.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The broth was a little bland and the vegetables were a bit mushy.
