This Healthy cabbage soup is very similar to one I grew up eating. I just made smaller changes to make it healthier. So, this is a very cabbage soup basic recipe. Is Serbia, this soup is usually made with a piece of meat for more flavour. But since I am not a huge fan of meat and am actually trying to eat less of it this is what I came up with!
Lately I have started cooking without oil. If I want oil then I will add some extra virgin olive oil on top of the dish. But for cooking onions it isn´t necessary. So, for this healthy cabbage soup recipe I am using water instead of oil. This cuts out a lot of calories. So, this is also cabbage soup diet recipe.
During weekday this cabbage soup easy recipe has been a perfect choice as the soup is very easy to make and it doesn´t take long to cook.
If you would like to see a video on how to cook cabbage soup and more easy soups I have been making lately then leave me a comment and let me know!
You can serve this soup as is. I like to add a bunch of fresh parsley or celery leaves on top. But it is also delicious with a piece of bread, some butter and cheese. Another way I like to enjoy this simple cabbage soup is with sour cream and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
This soup can last a few days in the fridge.
