Red Cabbage Soup Recipes

RED CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Add onion, olive oil, and 1/4 tsp salt to a large soup pot and turn the heat to medium. Cook onions for about 10 minutes or until they're beginning to caramelize.
• Next, add carrots and cook for 3 minutes - scraping up any bits the onion has left.
• Add shredded cabbage and another 1/4 tsp salt and cook for a few minutes or until it turns bright purple.
• Add in diced tomatoes, chicken stock, brown sugar, vinegar, remaining salt, and raisins and turn the heat down to medium-low.
• Simmer soup for 45 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper before serving if needed.

RED CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and slice the onion. Peel, deseed and slice the apple. Wash the red cabbage, quarter, remove and discard middle part, and cut into stripes.
• Melt butter in a large pot. Add onion and apple and fry for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cabbage and cook for a couple of minutes. Keep stirring. Add cranberry jam/sauce/chutney, red wine, vegetable stock, bay leaf and juniper berries. Cover with lid and cook on low heat until vegetable is done. This will take about 40 minutes.
• Remove and discard bay leaf and blend soup. I always use a big pot and blend my soup in the pot with my hand blender.
• Add additional water or stock if desired. Cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, salt (if necessary), and pepper. Remove from heat and add cream. Depending on the fat content of your cream, the cream may curdle if heated on high temperature. Check if soup is hot enough. If not, only warm on low heat, in particular if you use single cream!
• SERVE: Ladle soup into warmed bowls and sprinkle with the additional walnut or olive oil. You may want to sprinkle your soup with some cream instead of the oil.

GERMAN-STYLE SWEET AND SOUR RED CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Serve with grilled Swiss or extra-sharp white Cheddar cheese on pumpernickel or whole grain bread.;
• Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, and bacon. Brown and crisp bacon and remove to a plate, draining off some fat if you have more than enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pot.
• Add the onions, carrots, caraway, and apples, and stir a few minutes. Then wilt in the cabbage and season with black pepper and some freshly grated nutmeg. Cover with the lid slightly ajar and wilt cabbage while you prepare the sachet. Fill the cheesecloth with the juniper berries, cloves, bay leaves, orange rind, and cinnamon, and use kitchen twine to tie it to the side of the pot. Drop it into the pot and stir into the cabbage. Add the vinegar, keeping your head back from the hot pot, brown sugar, stock, and water, and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until cabbage is very tender and soup has thickened. Stir the bacon bits back in, then adjust the salt to your taste.
• Cool and store for a make-ahead meal, or serve with grilled cheese sandwiches.
