A flavorful sweet-and-sour cabbage soup. Years ago a local restaurant served a cabbage apple soup that I’ve been trying to recreate. This is my best attempt, and possibly even better! For a vegetarian version, simply omit the bacon.
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- ½ apple, peeled and finely chopped
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup apple cider
- 1 head cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) loaf crusty bread
Directions
Step 1
Place bacon pieces in a large pot and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 2
Drain fat from the pot and add olive oil, onion, garlic, and caraway seeds. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in chopped apple, vegetable broth, apple cider, cabbage, cider vinegar, and sugar. Bring soup to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer, partially covered, until cabbage is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 4
Cut bread into large chunks and place them in the bottom of six soup bowls. Ladle the soup over the bread and serve.
Cook’s Notes:
If you omit the bacon, add salt to taste.
