List of Ingredients
Repollo: The main ingredient, cabbage, is rich in fiber and has few calories, which makes it great for recipes that help detoxify the body.
Onion, Carrots, Celery, and Garlic: These aromatic vegetables create a flavorful base while adding essential nutrients.
Chopped Tomatoes: A sour ingredient that makes the soup taste better.
Vegetable Soup Base: Gives a tasty and comforting base for the soup.
Paprika: Adds a light smoky flavor without being too strong for the fresh tastes.
Salt and pepper: Simple seasonings to balance the natural flavors of the vegetables.
Cooking Directions
First, cook the aromatic ingredients in a pan with a little bit of oil.
In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Put the chopped onion, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and crushed garlic. Cook the vegetables in a pan for 5-7 minutes, stirring from time to time, until they are soft and smell good.
Step 2: Build the Soup Base
Put the sliced cabbage into the pot and mix it with the aromatic ingredients. Next, add the chopped tomatoes (including their liquid) and the vegetable broth. Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring everything is well-mixed.
Step 3: Simmer to Perfection
Heat the soup until it boils. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
Step 4: Add final seasonings and serve.
Try the soup and add more seasoning if necessary. Pour the hot soup into bowls, add some fresh parsley or lemon juice on top, and savor it!
Advice for preparing delicious cabbage soup
Cut vegetables into uniform pieces. This makes sure that the food cooks evenly and has a consistent texture in each mouthful.
Enhance the Taste: Add a little hot sauce or some red pepper flakes if you want to add some spiciness.
Try using different herbs: Fresh thyme, dill, or oregano can elevate the soup’s flavor profile.
Include more protein. Add cooked beans, lentils, or shredded chicken to make it more filling.
Cook in large quantities: This soup freezes really well, so it’s great for preparing meals in advance.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Storage: Let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Cold: Put the soup in containers that can be frozen and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Heating up again: Heat the soup on the stove on low heat or in the microwave. If the mixture has become thicker after being stored, add a little bit of broth.
