Cabbage Soup

Hello, chefs! 😋

It's been a while since my last dish (Fusilli With Spinach), and it's recipe time again :)

This time I'm making cabbage soup.

I remember my grandmother used to cook it because it's simple and requires little preparation.
Since now are modern times and there is less physical work that requires energy, the recipe will be without any bacon or ham (which can also be added).

What do you need for 4 people?

one small/medium cabbage head (up to 1kg);
one onion;
one spring onion;
a couple of garlic cloves;
one carrot;
one celery stalk;
a sprig or two of parsley;
salt and pepper if necessary;
a tablespoon or two of olive oil;
1 l of water or soup stock

First, clean all the vegetables well and wash them under running water. Slice the cabbage. The same goes for the other vegetables.
It is not necessary to chop them finely because we will end up mixing everything.

Now we are going to stew everything first. Heat one or two tablespoons of oil in a small pan and fry the onions first, then add the spring onion, carrots, garlic, and parsley. Fry for a couple of minutes, season with salt and pepper to taste.

When the vegetables have softened a little, add the shredded cabbage, stir well and stew for a few more minutes.

When the cabbage has stewed a little, pour water over it (even better if you have some soup stock, it will be tastier).
When the water boils, cook the vegetables on a lower heat to soften everything well.
