How Do You Make Amazing Cabbage Soup?
Regular cabbage soup has been thought for years to help with weight loss. That may be true because just cabbage and water have very little calories. But cabbage does have a lot of nutrition and we wanted a soup that was filling, comforting and tasted amazing with the benefits of cabbage. Thus was born stuffed cabbage soup!
Tips for Making Amazing Stuffed Cabbage Soup:
- To make a really good soup, you have to build flavors as you go. Veggies like onion, garlic, celery and carrots are the base of a lot of different kinds of soups. The reason being these veggies are known as aromatics and release flavor as they are cooked. Make sure they are cooked long enough to soften and release their flavors before moving on to the next step.
- Don’t over salt. A lot of soups call for broth or stock that have plenty of sodium – also canned beans, tomatoes or sauce and paste have a lot of salt. Wait to add most of your seasoning at the end, and then taste and adjust with salt and pepper.
- A medium sized cabbage yields about 6-7 cups of sliced cabbage. If you have more than that and want to use it, just make sure you add a bit more liquid to compensate.
- If you want to kick up the flavor a notch, add a splash (2-3 teaspoons) of apple cider vinegar.
- If you feel like the soup needs a little balance, you can squeeze just a tiny bit of honey into the soup.
