Description

The simple taste of fresh boiled cabbage, which lacks the acidity and intrigue of fermented cabbage, is significantly enhanced by the broth: the recipe includes beef, onions, fresh tomatoes, and three hours of slow cooking. Otherwise, this is an everyday, unassuming soup. We strongly recommend preparing fresh cabbage soup at least a couple of hours before serving and letting it steep by wrapping the pot in a blanket: the mingling of flavors will make the soup even richer, and it will also soften the cabbage, preventing it from being crunchy, which is not desirable in classic versions of this dish.
