SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE SOUP



Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup image

My version of an old favorite Ashkenazi Jewish recipe. I make a stock first, then make the soup. This allows for de-fatting for a healthier soup, but you need to make this on two days, so time accordingly. For a healthier version, use sucralose instead of sugar - there is virtually no taste difference in sweet and sour recipes such as this one. Using Savoy cabbage gives the soup superlative texture and flavor.

Time P1DT7h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 pounds bone-in beef shank
12 cups water
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
3 onions, peeled
4 stalks celery with leaves
1 bay leaf
16 peppercorns
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika
1 head Savoy cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 lemon, juiced
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the beef shanks and water in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a very low simmer. Use a strainer to skim off any foam on the surface. Add the carrot pieces, whole onions, celery stalks, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Simmer for 4 hours, skimming the surface occasionally.
  • Strain the stock. Discard the vegetables but reserve the meat. Allow the stock to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a covered container and refrigerate overnight. When the beef shanks are cool, remove the meat from the bones. Discard bones and gristle. Dice the meat and any remaining marrow into small cubes. Cover the container and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, heat the vegetable oil in a stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and 1 diced onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and cook 1 additional minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly wilted and reduced in bulk, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove the beef stock from the refrigerator; skim and discard any fat. Pour the stock into the pot; stir in the reserved chopped beef. Add the tomatoes with their juice. Bring the soup to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the soup, partially covered, until the cabbage is quite soft, about 1 hour.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper. Add more water, if desired, for a thinner soup. Cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Taste and adjust the seasonings before serving.

SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE SOUP WITH RAISINS



Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup With Raisins image

This soup is simple and cheap to make, and a favorite comfort food in my family. My mother got the recipe from a former employer and friend, and passed it along to me. It is not a highly flavored soup, so feel free to add extra seasoning if you are eating it as a main dish. The cracked black pepper and fresh lemon juice are important to the flavor of the dish. I usually add extra raisins because I like them so well.

1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsly ground

Steps:

  • Drain any excess grease from the meat and onions, and return to the pan.
  • Add the cabbage and 1/4 cup of the water, cover, and cook over medium heat until the cabbage is limp and getting tender, but still holds its shape, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, and simmer until the vegetables in the soup are as tender as you would like, about 30 minutes.
  • Serve with additional lemon juice and fresh ground pepper, to taste.
  • Like many soups, this is much better the second day after the flavors have a chance to blend.

SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE SOUP



Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup image

One of my absolute favorite soups is sweet and sour cabbage soup. Since I haven't been able to get to my usual place lately to get my fix, I've been having a terrible craving. So I decided to do something about it. After going through recipe after recipe that didn't come close to what I have become accustomed to, I came to...

Provided by Robert Kimmons

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 can(s) diced tomatoes with juice (14.5 oz)
1 can(s) tomato sauce (8 oz)
2 c baby carrots, halved
1 medium onion
1/2 c white vinegar
1/2 c white sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 qt water or vegetable broth
3 Tbsp minced garlic
1 medium cabbage head

Steps:

  • 1. In a large crock pot or stock pot add all of the ingredients, except for the cabbage. Note that if you less of a tang to your soup, adjust the vinegar from ½ a cup to 1/3 of a cup. If you want a sweeter soup, just increase the measurement by a tablespoon at a time and taste test it until satisfied. Start heating all the ingredients on high if cooking in a crock pot and over medium heat if cooking on the stove top.
  • 2. Core the head of cabbage. Cut into quarters and slice the quarters into one inch segments, keeping the shape of the wedge. Then cut the wedge in the other direction so that you end up with spoon sized pieces of cabbage. Add the cut cabbage to the broth, working the cabbage down into the pot as much as possible.
  • 3. Cook until cabbage is soft. I cooked mine in the crock pot for six hours on the high setting. Four probably would have been enough, but you can try it and judge for yourself. If cooking on the stove top, this should be about an hour and a half to two hours over medium heat.

Modified from the NY Times by ofallytasty.com, who adapted it from The National. I put my spin on it by using vegetable broth, and adjusting some of the measurements. If you have smoked salt, by all means sprinkle some over the soup when you serve it.

TANGY SWEET & SOUR CABBAGE SOUP



Tangy Sweet & Sour Cabbage Soup image

A family favorite, I took bits and pieces from several recipes and tweaked it to our preferences. The first time I made this, I used the juice of 2 lemons, which was not enough, and probably 1 cup of brown sugar or a bit more, which was about right. In addition to the lemon juice, I added a bit of cider vinegar as well - the soup needed more of a sour taste. Turned out great!

Time 3h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 lbs chuck steaks or 3 lbs beef short ribs
1 onion, chopped
3 parsnips, peeled and diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
1 -2 stalk celery, diced
28 ounces stewed tomatoes
3 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed beef consomme
1 cabbage, coarsely shredded
14 ounces sauerkraut, drained
2 -3 lemons, juiced
2/3 cup brown sugar (or more)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
water

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot or dutch oven, brown meat on all sides in olive oil under medium high heat. Season the meat with salt, pepper, or your favorite spices while cooking. When browned all over, remove the meat to a separate plate.
  • Add the onion, parsnips, carrots and celery to the pot, plus a little more oil (if needed to prevent sticking). Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until browned and softened.
  • Add in the can of stewed tomatoes, cutting up the large slices of tomatoes into smaller pieces.
  • Add in the cans of beef consomme and 3 cans of water. You can also use beef broth or French onion soup as well.
  • Place the meat back into the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for one hour.
  • After one hour, add the cabbage and sauerkraut to the pot. Again, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for another hour.
  • After another hour has gone by, add the juice of 2 or 3 lemons to the soup and the brown sugar. You may need more of each to taste, the soup should definitely be sweet, and sour.
  • Enjoy!
