10 in 10 Diet Cabbage Soup image

This soup is vaguely a borscht, with a sweet & sour tang and a red-tinged broth. I've settled on tomato paste as cheap and the right tomato-iness for us. I used to freeze cubes of crushed tomatoes and use five or so in a batch of soup. One friend put garden-fresh tomatoes in.

Time 3h30m

Yield 10 bowls, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large onions
1/2 head garlic
2 stalks celery
2 large carrots
1/4 cup olives or 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste
5 bay leaves
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 whole cabbage
1 tablespoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Boil two quarts of water in a kettle.
  • Dice 2 large onions and 1/2 head of garlic.
  • Slice 2 stalks of celery and 2 large carrots.
  • Cover the bottom of an 8-quart pot with olive or grape seed oil and stir-fry the garlic, onions, celery, and carrots. Add at least a tablespoon of sea salt and lots of black pepper. When hot, not tender, pour in the boiling water and boil another kettle of water.
  • Add tomato paste, 5 bay leaves, 3/4 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the pot and boil.
  • Slice a whole cabbage as small as you'll be comfortable eating. Put it in the pot as you get it sliced, and add the second kettle of water after it's boiling.
  • If you have fresh parsley, chop a good bunch inches Otherwise throw in a handful of dried parsley.
  • Cover the pot and boil the heck out of it. It's done when the celery is no longer hard and the thick parts of the cabbage are a bit translucent. The pot can cool overnight on the counter before you store it in the fridge.
