Hearty Hungarian Soup

.

This is a most satisfying fall and winter soup with hearty vegetables and a meaty protein.  Don’t be put off by the list of seasonings; it goes quickly when you use the same measuring spoon for multiple ingredients.  That is why they are listed together in groups.  You will find it delicious with a big salad and some whole-wheat rustic bread.

  1. In a large non-stick kettle, sauté the onion and cabbage using a small amount of water as needed.

  3. Add the tomatoes and peas, return to a simmer, cover and simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
  4. Best flavor after 24 hours. Add broth as needed for desired consistency.

*This could possibly be replaced with a dark miso, you might need to double the amount; I have not tried it.

**The mushroom powder is not essential, but it adds depth of flavor.
