Souper Freak

My seventh soup: Cabbage Soup

Two weeks or so from now, I’ll be in the middle of a crazy desert, surrounded by crazy people doing crazy things, probably wearing something pretty crazy — and skimpy. It’s hot there!

Cabbage soup is a classic dieter’s soup. In all honesty, my upcoming (first!) time at Burning Man isn’t really why I picked this soup. Mostly, I picked it because it’s simple, and it sounded good.

I’ve actually been cooking all afternoon. My roommate Sam and I made nearly 30 burritos and put them in the freezer to save for Burning Man. (Half chicken-cheese-rice, half sweet-potato-black-bean.) Then I did a new exercise video, then moved on to my cabbage soup!

Veggie stock, leeks and onions, carrot, potato, caraway seed, and, of course, cabbage. Topped it off with a sprinkle of blue cheese on the top. Easy and subtly pleasing!
