Moms Yummy Cabbage Soup Even If You Dont Like Cabbage Recipes

EASY AND DELICIOUS CABBAGE SOUP!

Steps:

• Mince garlic, onion, and celery.
• In a large stock pot, sauté minced garlic, onion and celery in olive oil.
• Add beef broth, water, diced tomatoess, and tomato paste to the pot.
• Break up ground beef (uncooked) and add to the pot.
• Chop up cabbage into 1-2 inch squares and add to the pot.
• Season with ground pepper, garlic salt, and onion salt to taste.

EASY SAUERKRAUT SOUP

Steps:

• First, peel the onions and the potato and chop both into small pieces. Also, peel and cut up the garlic or press it through a garlic press.
• Drain the sauerkraut and squeeze out any excess liquid. This is especially important if you're using sauerkraut that is kept in a vinegar-based solution. If you don't squeeze out some of the liquid, the soup will taste very vinegary.
• Cut the pancetta bacon into small pieces if it's not already pre-cut.
• Heat oil in a large pot, then add the pancetta bacon and fry it on medium-high heat for around 5 minutes until the fatty pieces appear clear. Then add the chopped onion pieces and sauté them on medium heat for around 5-6 minutes until translucent. Stir regularly.
• Once the onions are soft and the pancetta bacon has browned slightly, add the chopped potato and garlic. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes as well.
• Next, add the tomato paste and paprika powder. Stir everything together.
• Now add the sauerkraut to the pot and give everything a stir. Then pour in enough vegetable broth so that it covers the contents in the pot. In our case, this is 4 cups of broth but it might be slightly more or less for you.
• Bring the contents of the pot to a boil, then place the lid on the pot and turn down the heat. Let the soup simmer for around 25-30 minutes or until the potato pieces are soft.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the sour cream.
• Serve the soup hot with some fresh crusty bread.

MOM'S CABBAGE SOUP

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.

MOM'S YUMMY CABBAGE SOUP (EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE CABBAGE!)

Steps:

• In a large pot, put cut-up cabbage and raw ground beef, diced onion and all ingredients EXCEPT for the tomato paste.
• Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat until the meat and cabbage are done. (NOTE: You do not have to drain the fat from the ground beef.) (The cabbage and beef usually get done at about the same time--if not, just cook a little longer till the cabbage is done.).
• Turn heat down to low, add the tomato paste and cook about 15 minutes longer.
• I usually add a little salt and pepper as I cook, then season again to taste when the soup is finished.
