Alpine Cabbage Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil.
• Spread the bread cubes evenly in a 9"x13" casserole dish or 2 quart ovenproof dish. If the cubes aren't dry, toast them quickly in the oven. Melt 3 tbsp of the butter and drizzle over the bread. Set aside.
• When the water boils, blanch the cabbage just until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain well. Spread cabbage over the bread. Melt the remaining 2-3 tbsp butter and stir in nutmeg, pepper, and salt. Pour the seasoned butter on the cabbage and bread. Pour the broth over everything and evenly spread the cheese on top.
• Bake until the cheese melts and starts to brown, 25-30 minutes.
• Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan on medium-high. When the oil is heated, add the chopped onion and saute until the onion starts turning light brown. Pay attention that it doesn't burnt.
• Turn the temperature down to medium or low (depending on how fast your range cooks), and let the onions carmelize to a darker brown.
• Turn the heat back to medium high, then stir in the garlic, celery, salt and pepper. Stir together to blend the flavors.
• Add the potatoes and carrots and stir-fry for a few more minutes.
• Add the broth, zucchini, and dillweed. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
• Make sure that the cornstarch is dissolved in the cold water, then add to the soup. Raise the heat to medium-high and heat through to thicken the broth a little.
• Serve topped with grated cheese.

Steps:

• Heat the oil or butter over medium heat in a heavy soup pot and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the spices and stir together for another few minutes, until the onion is tender. Stir in the cabbage and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the cabbage is limp, about 5 minutes. Add the water, honey and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the apples. Core one of them and slice it very thin. Place slices in a bowl of water acidulated with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and set aside. Core and either dice or slice the remaining apples. Add them to the soup, cover and continue to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the apples are tender and the soup is sweet and fragrant. Add pepper to taste, and adjust salt. Stir in the lemon juice. Serve, topping each bowl with a generous spoonful of yogurt and a few slices of apple.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a casserole pot over a low heat. Add the onion, celery and carrot, along with a generous pinch of salt, and fry gently for 15 mins, or until the veg begins to soften. If you're using pancetta, add it to the pan, turn up the heat and fry for a few mins more until turning golden brown. Tip in the cabbage and fry for 5 mins, then stir through the garlic, paprika and rosemary and cook for 1 min more.
• Tip the chopped tomatoes and stock into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then cook, uncovered, for 30 mins, adding the chickpeas for the final 10 mins. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
• Ladle the soup into six deep bowls. Serve with the shaved parmesan and crusty bread, if you like.

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook until onion is transparent, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in water, bouillon, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then stir in cabbage. Simmer until cabbage wilts, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes. Return to a boil, then simmer 15 to 30 minutes, stirring often.
