Two Cabbage Celery Soup
I call this Two Cabbage Celery Soup because it happens to have two varieties of cabbage in it – white and savoy – but it’s the type of tasty but cheap, simple and filling soup that people across Europe and elsewhere have eaten for centuries. This recipe uses a pressure cooker which means it’s ready much quicker, in a normal pan you’ll need to simmer and stir for about half an hour. As below it works out at around only 20 kCal/100g- excellent for those on 5:2 or other diets!
Ingredients
Method
- Peel & finely chop the garlic & onions. Clean & thinly chop the celery and potatoes. Wash and slice the cabbages.
- Spray the oil into the pan over a medium heat then add the garlic, onions and celery – stir to sweat for a minute or so before adding the herbs.
- Mix in the potatoes & cabbage, then pour in the stock. Bring to the boil stirring well.
- Put on the lid and cook under pressure for 10 minutes then allow to cool.
- If your diet allows, serve with a little soured cream or yogurt and crusty bread.
