bearshorty Soup Project 2014: Soup 8 - Cabbage Soup
I had a lot of cabbage in the fridge so I googled cabbage soup. I used this soup from allrecipes.com as a base.
I added one large carrot, one potato, two stalks of celery, some oregano and basil and I used less olive oil. I used one bullion cube and since the store didn't have stewed tomatoes, I used a can of pured/cut up tomatoes. And I used a whole onion instead of 1/2 onion.
The soup itself is pretty easy to make and a good use of cabbage but I think I realized that I'm not a big fan of tomatoes in the soup. So it is not my favorite soup. Bear liked it enough - it reminded him of borsch - his favorite so far. But next time I would probably skip the tomatoes, all more potatoes and perhaps make it with beef, which really sounds like a traditional Russian cabbage soup called schi.
On a different note, I really hate daylight savings time - it is such a useless thing that has been proven not to do much good, and yet we still do this. My body will have getting up tomorrow at its usual time of 6:50. It will feel like 5:50 and I'm already not sleeping that well.
