Title: Sweet & Sour Cabbage Soup
Categories: Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies, Soups
Yield: 7 Servings

1 lg Head cabbage
2 Carrots
2 Celery ribs
1 lg Onion
4 tb Olive oi
6 tb Sauerkraut
32 oz Broth of your choice
2 tb Onion powder
2 ts Red pepper flakes; or more
2 ts Salt; to taste
1 sm Cone of piloncillo *
2 cl Garlic
14 1/2 oz Can diced or crushed
- tomatoes
1 Lemon (opt)

* Mexican brown sugar

Chop the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and cabbage.
Put the onion powder, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon
salt in a little bowl, so you have it ready.

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the
olive oil, and saute the onion until translucent. (5-7
minutes). Add the garlic, carrots, celery and cabbage
and continue to saute until the cabbage just starts to
wilt.

Add the spice mix (onion powder, red pepper, salt) and
continue to saute. Add more olive oil if things start to
dry up. Continue to saute until the spice mix is
distributed evenly and the cabbage starts to become
cooked through.

Add the tomatoes, the broth of your choice and simmer
over medium heat, covered, for about 30 minutes. The
soup may seem too broth-y at this point, but that will
be taken care of later.

After 30 minutes, uncover and toss in 5-6 heaping
tablespoons of sauerkraut. Simmer for 10-15 minutes
more, stirring occasionally. Lower heat and toss in the
cone of piloncillo, and stir until dissolved.

TASTE THE SOUP AND MAKE THE FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENTS IF
NECESSARY: -- squeeze lemon if soup is too sweet and/or
add more sauerkraut -- add salt if necessary -- if too
liquidy, simmer for 10-15 minutes with lid off -- if not
enough liquid, use tomato can as measuring cup and add
water

OPTIONAL STEP: Take off heat and let sit for an hour or
so to allow flavors to meld, and then reheat before
serving. Or enjoy right away!

SERVES: 6 - 8

UDD NOTEs: Piloncillo is raw dark brown sugar compressed
into a cone. What is available to me is either 6 or 8
ounces per. So I substituted 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
from my pantry. I used Swansons Beef Broth so this is
not vegetarian. Vegetable broth is quite acceptable if
you are keeping vegan.
