When I have made this soup in the past, I have whirred the finished product in the blender ... sometimes adding a bit of cream. Alternatively, I have used a hand blender, keeping some of the veggies in their chopped form. I know that the cream sort-of defeats the "diet" goals of the soup, but you only need a small amount to produce a delicious creamy flavour.
Great idea! It sounds delicious!
Is celery stalk the whole head or is it 2 ribs?
Two ribs of celery.
Can red cabbage replace the green since it is supposedly better for you?
using red cabbage instead of green produces purple soup, it doesn't affect the flavor at all.
Hi there. You can sub red cabbage in this soup, but keep in mind that green cabbage has a more mild flavor than red. While we would recommend sticking to the green cabbage, which is nutritionally very good, we always encourage experimenting with recipes.
Two thumbs down. Love cabbage and cabbage soup but not this one. Too bland.
Hi Mike, I find that sautéing the veggies in a good olive oil (wonderful for your health) and homemade chicken stock make a huge difference. Also a healthy dose of your favorite herbs. Then again, it wouldn’t be the same recipe, would it?😊
I agree with Hopflower. "if Yankee Magazine could start putting in the nutrition facts on their recipes. It would be most helpful.
