Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small onion, minced (3 oz)
8 ounces cabbage, about the size of a grapefruit
15 ounces diced tomatoes (petite dice)
5 -6 cups fat free chicken broth or 5 -6 cups vegetable broth

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar (see note on substituting)

1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper, to taste (a lot!)

Steps:

  • NOTE: One cup of seasoned rice vinegar is the same as 3/4 cup white rice vinegar plus 1/4 cup sugar plus 2 teaspoons salt. I used this substitution and it was great.
  • Spray a large soup pot with some cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Add onion, and saute until soft.
  • Meanwhile, quarter your cabbage, remove the core, and shred the cabbage with a large chef's knife. Add tomatoes, cabbage, undrained mushrooms, and broth to the pot and stir well.
  • Add the soy sauce, vinegar, chili flakes and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, then turn heat down to medium low. Simmer for 20 minutes or until cabbage is the desired tenderness.

Categories     Asian

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 ounces leeks, diced (white part only)
3 garlic cloves, diced
1 ounce ginger, grated
1/2 head cabbage, shaved thinly (use a madoline if available)
6 ounces bamboo shoots, cut into strips (reserve liquid for later)
2 tablespoons tamarind paste
1 quart low sodium vegetable broth
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
8 chili peppers, Calabrian, diced, with oil
4 ounces Chinkiang vinegar
3 ounces rice vinegar
1/2 cup water (or use drained liquid from canned vegetables)
3 ounces cornstarch (or 4 ounces of flour)
2 large eggs
2 ounces cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat sesame oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add leeks and saute for about 5 minutes, scraping the bottom continuously with a spoon or spatula. Add garlic and ginger and saute for another minute, stirring continuously.
  • Add cabbage and bamboo shoots to pot and stir thoroughly to coat. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes.Stir in tamarind paste to coat thoroughly and cook for another minute. Add vegetable stock and stir thoroughly.
  • Open the can of tomatoes, but leave them in the can. Add chopped Calabrian chili peppers (minus the stems) to the can. Use an immersion blender for 30 seconds or so to blend tomatoes and peppers together. Add mixture to the pot and stir thoroughly.
  • Add both vinegars to the pot and stir. Cook for 20 minutes on medium heat, or until cabbage is tender.
  • In a separate bowl, use liquid reserved from bamboo shoots to blend with cornstarch. Alternately, use 1/2 cup of water or some of the soup removed from the pot. Blend the cornstarch mixture into the soup by pouring in a steady stream while stirring continuously.
  • Whisk two eggs in a bowl, then blend them into the soup by pouring in a stead stream while stirring continuously. This will produce a "feathering" effect in the soup.
  • Stir in chopped cilantro and serve, adding additional fresh cilantro as a garnish.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used in hot and sour cabbage soup, but you can also use red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, or bok choy. Each type of cabbage has a slightly different flavor and texture, so experiment to find your favorite.
  • Don't be afraid to add other vegetables. Carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers are all great additions to hot and sour cabbage soup. You can also add mushrooms, tomatoes, or any other vegetables that you like.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, be sure to read the label carefully to make sure that it doesn't contain any unwanted ingredients.
  • Season the soup to taste. Hot and sour cabbage soup is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and ginger. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika, to taste. Be sure to taste the soup as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the soup hot. Hot and sour cabbage soup is best served hot. You can garnish the soup with green onions, cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Hot and sour cabbage soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a flavorful and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
