Notes
- Variations
- To make this recipe completely oil free, use a non-stick soup pan to saute the onion and potatoes.
- Stir in the cabbage last and let it wilt naturally with the heat of the broth. This will help keep the cabbage from having a mushy texture.
- If you are omitting the potatoes from the recipe for a low carb version, be sure to use less water as potatoes help thicken the soup naturally.
- Spice your diet cabbage soup up by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeno to the mix. A big pinch of dried chili flakes works too.
- Add some fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme or basil.
- Use a mix of napa cabbage and white cabbage for a slightly different flavor and texture.
- Add more non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms and bell peppers.
- Add a teaspoon or two of Old Bay Seasoning.
- Give it a light curry flavor by adding 1 tablespoon of your favorite dry curry seasoning powder.
- Give this cabbage soup a Middle Eastern flavor with a teaspoon of Baharat spice blend.
- Increase the protein content by adding some canned chickpeas, shredded chicken or cubes of extra firm tofu (toss them in a little cornstarch first, spray a frying pan with low-calorie oil and pan fry until slightly crispy).
