Potato and Cabbage Soup with a Spicy Twist

December 9, 2014 by Stacey 7 Comments

I don’t know where y’all are, but it is STILL freezing in Melbourne. Last night I was huddling under a blanket and I’ve been walking around with constant cold feet. We can still eat soup here, people. Soup in December. SOUP, I tell you! If you’re cold too, you might like to warm up with this Potato and Cabbage soup – or Pin it for when the cooler weather hits!

Cabbage-and-Potato-Soup-with-Jalapeno-and-LIme

If, like me, you are thinking – cabbage soup with lime? WTF? I totally understand. I did too, at first. And then I made it, and added sour cream and coriander, and whaddya know? This thing is GOOD.

I had only been in Melbourne a few months, and was regularly getting the Whole Larder Love veggie boxes. When Ro means “seasonal”, he means “seasonal“. We had more cabbage than we knew what to do with.

I started Pinning all the European recipes I could find for cabbage and potato staples. When I came across one that had cabbage and potato mixed with jalapeno and lime I was intrigued, but kind of freaked out. Remember?

I made it basically the same way as this recipe, but without the broccoli and recommended parsley or dill. I mashed some of the potato to make a heartier-looking soup and let it all simmer down to a delightful bowl of warmth. The lime really makes a huge difference, and I know what will be my go-to when Ro starts up the boxes again next year.

Is it hot where you are? I know it’s meant to be summer in the Southern Hemisphere, but it’s forgotten us down here in Melbs 🙂

Description

Cabbage and Potato soup with a Jalapeno Lime Twist – I was super-surprised at the ingredients in this one, but it really works.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 small cabbage, quartered and sliced
  • Salt & Pepper
  • juice of one lime
  • Coriander and sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium high heat, and saute the onion, carrots, tomatoes, and jalapeno for about 15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the veg softens and picks up some colour.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in water to just cover, until they are soft.
  3. Add the cabbage and sauteed veg to the potatoes and water.
  4. Simmer a minute or two until the cabbage is softened
  5. Mash a little with a potato masher to break some of the potatoes down and thicken the soup.
  6. Add the lime juice, and season with salt and pepper (chilli powder here is good too).
  7. Serve with sour cream and coriander on top – TRUST ME.

    This looks so delicious. The days have been getting a little colder and there should be rain by the end of the week. Perfect time for staying in and eating soup!

    I’m in Southern SA, the weather is crazy. Hot one day, cold the next. I am still enjoying warming curries for lunch! I have a mini cabbage ready for the picking. This soup sounds like a plan 🙂

    It’s hot here so no soup for me. I’m intrigued by this one and will bookmark it to make for June next year. 😉
