Cabbage is one of the most healthiest foods for you, although it is slows down your thyroid if you eat too much in a raw state. Besides that I can not think of anything reason not to eat this anti-cancer food everyday.
There is a diet based on cabbage soup. I have not tried it as it is too boring for me and I do not believe in diets.
Cabbage soup – the way I cook it.
- Olive Oil – it does not have to be extra virgin oil
- Two large onions – ordinary or yellow, red if you want to get fancy
- Celery – chopped
- Carrots sliced the long way
- Spices – Could be dill or all spice, salt and pepper.
All ingredients chopped up saute it in a pan until juicy but not more. I use a black iron skillet. Once done add 2 cups of chicken soup broth or for a vegetarian version use vegetable stock soup broth. We use, or make your own depending on your motivation level.
- To make the broth, just throw vegetables in a pot of water. If you want to add bones, then strain it. My wife makes it almost everyday.
Then throw in the chopped pieces of cabbage and let it simmer.
Cook for a long time, until the cabbage is soft.
That is it. If you have a variation or anything else you would like to share about this humble cabbage soup let me know. We are from Eastern Europe and would be delighted to hear variations.
