Quick Cabbage Soup Recipes
Cabbage is a nutritious cruciferous vegetable that's low in calories, high in vitamin A, and still low carb. It is also a source of natural calcium and magnesium. With all that going for it, this often overlooked vegetable is also versatile. It can be steamed, fried, boiled, or eaten raw, and it makes a tasty main ingredient for soups. For this recipe, I buy shredded cabbage to keep on hand in the refrigerator and make soup fresh for lunch in small amounts. This way the cabbage doesn't become soggy and overcooked but retains that hint of crispness. Around my family, I call this Egg Fu Yung Soup as the blend of flavors reminds me very much of flavors found in that dish.
