Carrot & Cabbage Soup

I keep trying to improve my recipes for better taste and textures. And sometimes, I try my old recipes by replacing or removing few ingredients for health reasons. I wrote my recipe for Carrot & Cabbage Soup 3 years back and so many things changed since then. Currently, I am working on no oil recipes and I will write about it sooner. So, my revised recipe for carrot & cabbage soup is here -

Ingredients :

1 big Onion

3-4 Garlic Cloves
1/2 Cabbage

5-6 Carrots

1/2 tsp Black Pepper Powder

3-4 tsp Lemon Juice

1/4 cup Coconut Milk

Salt as per taste

Method :

1. Heat the pan, put the onions and garlic. Dry roast the onions and garlic cloves (remember, it is a no oil recipe). Add sme water if it starts to stick on the pan and keep stirring till the onion is little brown.
2. Add carrots and cabbage to the pan and stir fry till the vegetables are softened. Add some water and cover the lid. Let the vegetables cook on medium heat.
3. When the vegetables are done, put off the heat and let it cool down.
4. Put the vegetable mixture in the blender, add some water and blend till mixture is smooth or little bit chunky (depends on what you want).
5. Put blended mixture in another pan, add water, salt, black pepper, coconut milk and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust salt, pepper and water according to your taste and cook for 2 more minutes.
6. Put the heat off and add lemon juice. Serve it hot.

Carrot & Cabbage Soup

I like to drink soups, but I rarely cook soups. Today, I was planning for the dinner and I found cabbage in my refrigerator. I thought I should cook soup, but I had never cooked cabbage soup. And top of it, I had never tasted it anywhere. So, I searched the recipe on the internet. I got so many recipes with so many ingredients. I was totally confused.

After so much brainstorming, I planned to cook the soup in traditional way. I didn't expect that soup will be so yummy. I tasted the soup, I liked the soup but I was not sure whether my husband will like it. But, he also liked it. I am very glad to share my recipe with my blog readers -

Ingredients :

1 Onion3-4 Garlic Cloves

1 small Cabbage

3-4 Carrots
1 tbsp Oil
1/2 tsp Black Pepper Powder

Salt according to taste

Water

Method :

1. Chop the onion, garlic, cabbage and carrots finely.
2. Heat oil in wide pan and add onion and garlic.
3. When onion becomes little transparent, stir in cabbage and carrots.
4. Stir fry the vegetables till they are soft and tender. Let it cool down.
5. Blend the vegetables into blender. (If you like vegetable pieces in the soup, you can skip blending. I did it as my kids won't like big pieces.)
6. Transfer the vegetables into a pan and put the water enough for required thickness. Put Salt and Black Pepper Powder into it according to the taste. Cook it for 10 minutes. Serve it immediately.
