No Fat Tomato and Cabbage Soup

Empty the can of tomatoes into a medium saucepan with the bay leaf and balsamic vinegar, and bring to simmering point on a low heat, while you chop the vegetables. Slice the onion and cabbage relatively finely and place into the simmering tomatoes. Turn the heat up to medium, and chop the tomatoes a little with a wooden spoon. After about 20 minutes simmering, empty the contents of the saucepan into a blender, and blitz thoroughly until completely smooth. Place back on the heat, and simmer for another 5-10 minutes, in which time you can add the chilli powder and seasoning to taste, and add vegetable stock if you prefer a thinner consistency of soup. I don't know why this combination of ingredients tastes so good, it just does!

Show more commentsYes, a great recipe. Another twist on the same theme is to use garlic instead of onion. You have to use a huge amount as the flavour evaporates during the simmering process. For half a cabbage, I would use about 6 cloves. Trust me, it won`t be too garlicky! Also good for diets as hardly any calories. Happy eating.
