  • 1 Pot, low calorie, gluten-free, pure vegetarian soup you want to serve with whole-grain brown rice, quinoa or lentils. Like a healthy quick version of stuffed cabbage soup but ready in about 30 minutes. Magic!
  • Polish, Greek, Italian, Romanian, German, Russian, Hungarian, Jewish, believe it or not they all claim the rights to the best version of this easy soup. I say: you decide!
  • By combining two different kinds of cabbage you effortlessly achieve the perfect balance between sweet and sour. However, once it is all done you can tweak that balance with some apple cider vinegar and maple syrup to ultimately make your taste buds happy.
 
  • Don’t forget the fresh dill! Both as a garnish and to deeply flavor the soup during the cooking process, dill is an absolute must.
  • To make it a heartier meal you might like to add in some spicy vegan Italian sausage like Beyond Meat and serve with some crusty bread.
