#66 Zesty Cabbage Soup and #67 Olive Bread
Soup:
4 Cups water
2 Chicken stock gelpots or 4 chicken stock cubes
1 small onion,
1 15 1/2 oz can chopped tomatoes
1 small sweetheart cabbage (any green cabbage would do, probably)
1 clove garlic
2 stalks celery
Franks Red Hot (to taste)
Chili powder (optional, to taste)
salt & pepper, to taste
Place water and stock cubes into large pot and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, chop onion and dice celery, set aside. Coarsely chop cabbage and place with onion mixture. Once stock is at a boil, add onion, celery and cabbage mixture and boil for 10-15 mins, until they begin to soften. Turn heat down to low and add garlic, chopped tomatoes, hot sauce and all seasoning to taste. Let simmer 30-45 mins.
Makes 4 servings or 3 hearty servings.
Taste: I can't rate this because I made up this recipe after combing through dozens of cabbage soup recipes, feeling like something great was missing. Let's see how you like it, readers!
