Soup is always comforting. In winter, especially. Making soups and stews as part of the meal helps in being healthy. It also helps with weight management. Cabbage is one such vegetable that helps in weight management. Sue of Palatable Pastime announced that we would do cabbage soups for Soup Saturday Swappers event and I decided right away to make this vegan soup. There a few different styles of cabbage soups that I make. This is one of my favorite soups which can be a curry too. This soup can be made with the staple ingredients in a pantry. It doesn't require a lot of prep work too. I have used purple cabbage as it imparts a beautiful color to the soup. I have tried this with regular cabbage as well and it is equally delicious. I have served topped with rice noodles to make a complete meal. It is great with a slice of bread too.
