Rustic Cabbage Soup Recipe
Today’s Cabbage Soup recipe was inspired by a mystery box delivery from Mariquita Farm in Watsonville, CA. For just $25, I receive an abundance of fresh produce, curating a delightful experience similar to unearthing a treasure trove of vegetables. The current season brings petite potatoes, a vibrantly colored assortment of carrots, and a generous pile of parsnips right to my kitchen. This recipe captures the essence of these wonderful ingredients, transforming them into a comforting soup.
Ingredients for Healthy Cabbage Soup
This Cabbage Soup features a half moon cabbage, sautéed potatoes, savory beans, aromatic onions, fresh garlic, and a flavorful broth. To finish off each bowl, I add a drizzle of high-quality olive oil, a dollop of sour cream, and a kick of spiciness with Calabrian chile paste. It couldn’t be easier or more satisfying.
Preparation Process for Delicious Cabbage Soup
To make this Cabbage Soup, follow these straightforward steps: First, slice the cabbage into thin ribbons. Next, in a large pot, sauté diced potatoes until they begin to soften. Adding chopped onions and minced garlic will elevate the flavor. Once the onions become translucent, mix in the cabbage and stir everything gently. The broth should be added thereafter; let it simmer until all the vegetables are tender. Lastly, serve bowls of steaming soup topped with olive oil, sour cream, and a little chile paste for that spicy undertone.
