Ingredients for the red cabbage soup with walnuts
I love this soup recipe because it requires so few ingredients. It saves time and does nothing to the taste.
But let's take a quick look at the ingredients.
Red cabbage in soup
The red cabbage brings color into the soup bowl. And on the shirt, if you are not careful :) So better take good care, the cabbage really colors everything purple.
Red cabbage is a typical autumn and winter vegetable. The Flashy color gets the Red cabbage soup from the plant anthocyanins. This substance is a natural anti-aging agent. It tightens the skin, strengthens the eyes and heart. In addition, red cabbage stimulates the formation of collagen, which is very good for our connective tissue.
The best veggie meatloaf with red cabbage
Cabbage is very low in calories, with only 23 calories per 100 grams. In many recipes you will find butter, lard or other high-fat ingredients - which cancels out the low calorie balance. In our red cabbage soup with walnuts, however, we try to keep the fat content low.
Cabbage is a very good source of fiber. So it makes you full for a long time and is good for digestion.
You can also find vitamin C, vitamin E, B vitamins, vitamin K. Red cabbage is rich in minerals and trace elements - it contains a lot of potassium, chloride, iron and calcium.
Red cabbage soup with walnuts
Walnuts end up in the soup because they simply go perfectly with cabbage. Nuts are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which have a positive effect on our heart. Walnuts are said to help lower cholesterol levels.
Walnuts improve our learning ability and memory.
So our red cabbage soup with walnuts makes you full and smart :)
Potatoes instead of cream
We do without cream in our soup. So it remains beautifully dark purple and vegan at the same time. We make our soup creamy with potatoes. Just use a large floury potato. That saves calories. In addition, potatoes are good for digestion and make you full.
By the way, very exciting: before you add the lemon juice to the soup, it is dark purple.
If you add lemon juice to the cabbage soup, it turns lighter. Depending on the amount of lemon, it may even turn pink. However, until it is really nice and pink, the soup is quite sour. But feel free to experiment a little. Makes really fun :)
Our conclusion
From potatoes, vegetable broth and cabbage you can conjure up a delicious and warming soup in no time. This quick recipe for red cabbage soup with walnuts is prepared very quickly and tastes simply wonderful.
