Recipe: Spa Soup

I created this soup for the first time last weekend because I had some cabbage to use up. It's very simple, all the ingredients are good for you, and it tastes "clean" --hence the name.


In a large pot, sautee 2 small onions, sliced, in 2 tsp olive oil until soft (do not brown).
Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for a few seconds.
Pour in 500ml low-sodium chicken broth (homemade from organic chicken parts would be best, but hey, not everyone is as obssessive as I am) and 250 ml water.
Throw in 3 cups shredded cabbage and one carrot, grated (or use a bagged, pre-made coleslaw mix -- easy!) and 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger.
Stir in 2 tbsp white miso paste and 2 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Cabbage should be soft but not mushy.

Makes 4 large bowls.
