Cabbage Soup is a classic Hungarian soup that's incredibly nutritious, delicious, and easy to make. Cabbage is the main ingredient, rich in vitamins, minerals, and particularly beneficial for digestion. In cabbage soup, smoked meats such as smoked sausage or hock perfectly complement the tangy cabbage flavor. The soup is a real winter dish that many inherit from family generations. This soup is not only delicious but also very nutritious, as the cabbage and meat create a perfect combination.
Cabbage soup is an excellent choice for lovers of spicy and rich flavors, and it can be served at the beginning of any meal.
Shred the cabbage thinly and place it in a large pot.
Peel the vegetables (onion, carrots, celery root), then dice or slice them.
Heat the vegetable oil in the pot, and sauté the onion, carrots, and celery root until softened.
Add the shredded cabbage, diced bell pepper, and tomatoes. Pour in the water or broth.
Season with salt, pepper, bay leaves, and caraway seeds. Bring to a simmer, then cook over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Serve hot, with fresh bread or on its own.
