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.

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.

TANGY SWEET & SOUR CABBAGE SOUP



Tangy Sweet & Sour Cabbage Soup image

A family favorite, I took bits and pieces from several recipes and tweaked it to our preferences. The first time I made this, I used the juice of 2 lemons, which was not enough, and probably 1 cup of brown sugar or a bit more, which was about right. In addition to the lemon juice, I added a bit of cider vinegar as well - the soup needed more of a sour taste. Turned out great!

Time 3h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 lbs chuck steaks or 3 lbs beef short ribs
1 onion, chopped
3 parsnips, peeled and diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
1 -2 stalk celery, diced
28 ounces stewed tomatoes
3 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed beef consomme

14 ounces sauerkraut, drained
2 -3 lemons, juiced
2/3 cup brown sugar (or more)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
water

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot or dutch oven, brown meat on all sides in olive oil under medium high heat. Season the meat with salt, pepper, or your favorite spices while cooking. When browned all over, remove the meat to a separate plate.
  • Add the onion, parsnips, carrots and celery to the pot, plus a little more oil (if needed to prevent sticking). Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until browned and softened.
  • Add in the can of stewed tomatoes, cutting up the large slices of tomatoes into smaller pieces.
  • Add in the cans of beef consomme and 3 cans of water. You can also use beef broth or French onion soup as well.
  • Place the meat back into the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for one hour.
  • After one hour, add the cabbage and sauerkraut to the pot. Again, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for another hour.
  • After another hour has gone by, add the juice of 2 or 3 lemons to the soup and the brown sugar. You may need more of each to taste, the soup should definitely be sweet, and sour.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure a flavorful broth, sauté the vegetables (onion, garlic, celery, and carrots) in butter until softened. This step enhances their natural flavors and releases their aromas.
  • Use a combination of chicken broth and water for the soup base. Chicken broth adds a rich flavor, while water helps balance the intensity and prevents the soup from becoming too salty.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to the soup to increase its nutritional value and texture. Cabbage, carrots, celery, and corn are commonly used vegetables in this recipe, but you can also add other favorites like green beans, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • For a tangy flavor, add vinegar, lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar to the soup. The acidity helps balance the sweetness of the cabbage and other vegetables.
  • Season the soup with a combination of herbs and spices. Common choices include thyme, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat.
  • To thicken the soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water) or a roux (a mixture of butter and flour). This will give the soup a thicker, more substantial consistency.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives. You can also add a dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or grated cheese for extra richness and flavor.

Conclusion:

Sweet and Tangy Cabbage Soup is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a light lunch or a comforting dinner. The combination of sweet cabbage, tangy vinegar, and aromatic vegetables creates a harmonious balance of flavors. By following the tips above, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that will warm your soul and tantalize your taste buds. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, herbs, and spices to personalize the soup to your liking. Bon appétit!
