Hearty cabbage soup

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Soups

Soup made from fresh head cabbage is a more rustic, sweeter version of vegetable soups. Unlike the sauerkraut version (Korhelyleves), here the natural sugar content of the cabbage dominates, balanced by the spiciness of caraway seeds and acidity of tomato. Light, yet filling, a true vitamin bomb for cooler days.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut cabbage into finger-wide strips or squares. Clean and chop other vegetables.

Tip: Cut out the core, as it can be bitter and stays hard.
2 ✓

Fry caraway seeds in oil for a few seconds until fragrant (popping). Add onion and sauté until translucent.

Tip: Toasting spices (blooming) intensifies their aroma.
3 ✓

Throw in carrots and celeriac, fry together for 2-3 minutes.

Tip: Carotene in carrots dissolves in fat, giving nice colour to soup.
4 ✓

Add cabbage, pepper, tomato. Pour over liquid.

Tip: Cabbage will collapse under heat.
5 ✓

Season with salt, pepper, bay leaf. Cook covered for approx. 25-30 mins until cabbage is soft.

Tip: Do not overcook completely; good to have a little bite.
6 ✓

Serve with sour cream and fresh bread.

Tip: Can acidify with a few drops of vinegar in the plate.
