The weather right now is perfect for soups. Here is an easy recipe for a tasty vegetable soup with three secret ingredients!
Basic Ingredients:
- 1 onion and/or 3 cloves of garlic (dice)
- 400g of cabbage (shred)
- 3 large potatoes (peel and cube)
- Your favorite fresh or frozen veggies: Carrots, peas, corn, tomatoes, bell peppers, green beans, etc.
- Salt/pepper to taste
- Parsley to garnish
- Add-on 1: Can of Beans (rinsed)
- Add-on 2: Prunes (5-8, cut into strips)
- Add-on 3: Feta or similar cheese (crumbled)
Make
the soup your usual way. Here is mine:
- Fill large pot with water and add cubed potatoes and shredded cabbage and boil for 20-30 minutes until potatoes are soft.
- In a large saucepan, heat up a bit of oil, add the onion (and/or garlic), and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add your favorite veggies and cook for 20-30 minutes.
- Add the veggie mixture into the pot with potatoes and cabbage.
- Add a rinsed can of beans. Beans are a great source of protein!
- Add prunes at the same time as you add beans. Cooked prunes taste a bit like eggplant or mushrooms. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Add feta cheese to serve – a vegetarian friend of mine generously shared this secret (and a cup of delicious soup!). I have always loved cheese in tomato soups but until now have never thought of adding it to vegetable soups. Yum!
- Add sat & pepper to taste but keep in mind that feta might be salty enough.
- Garnish with parsley.
Bon Appetit! Hope you like it!
