Cabbage Soup

Cabbage is a pretty versatile vegetable - lots of other vegs go with it easily.

  • 1 head cabbage
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 or 3 carrots
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1 or 2 potatoes
  • 1/2 t black pepper / peppercorns
  • 1/4 t cayenne pepper
  • 1 t caraway seed / 1/2 t caraway
  • 1/2 t celery seed / 1/4 C chopped celery
  • 1/2 t mustard seed / 1/4 t ground mustard
  • 4 cups chicken or beef stock (4 bouillon cubes in boiling water until dissolved)
  • 1/2 t vinegar


  1. Chop cabbage, onions, garlic, any other veg that looks interesting, dump into stew pot.
  2. Mix stock, vinegar, and spices, boil, dump into veg mixture.
  3. Microwave @ 100% for 5 minutes, 30% for 120 minutes.
  4. Check cabbage, if tender, serve.

A great way to thicken soups is to add a few potatoes.
Don't you liquidise? To me if you don't it's more like a stew.

That's a great idea. I will definitely try that, the next time.
