Notes
- Blending the soup: It’s preferable to use an immersion blender when blending soups and other hot liquids. When using a food processor, you must proceed carefully to avoid the risk of the blender’s lid exploding. After allowing the soup to cool slightly, blend it in batches. Place a thick, folded towel on the machine and hold it steady. Gradually increase the speed. Repeat with additional batches.
- Food processor: You can use it to chop the cabbage quickly. You can also use it to blend the red cabbage soup, but then make sure to follow the safety measures written above.
- Vegan or dairy-free alternative: Replace heavy cream with a vegan option such as soy or oat cream or any other kind of vegan cream. Coconut cream is also delicious, but it changes the flavor slightly.
