This cabbage soup is a family favorite and we were so happy to finally make some. We enjoyed it on a cooler day and then froze three more meals for later. We swear by it's healing powers. The chili and muffins we shared at a party and it was enjoyed by all. I put the chili on a hot dog and it was wonderful! I love the cornbread muffins, but surprisingly the kids did not. But the burgers, potatoes and broccoli was the kid favorite of the week.
Meal #1 (cabbage)
Healing Cabbage Soup
6 tablespoons olive oil1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
6 quarts (24 cups) water
8 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 head cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped
2 cup Italian-style stewed tomatoes, drained and diced
2 cups quinoa
In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook until onion is transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in water, bouillon, salt, pepper and other spices. Bring to a boil, then stir in cabbage. Simmer until cabbage wilts, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and quinoa. Return to a boil, then cover and simmer 15 to 30 minutes, stirring often. Done when quinoa is tender but still chewy and white spiral-like threads appear around each grain. Serves 16. *Recipe adapted from JGCase at allrecipes.com
