Clearly, the
Cabbage Tomato Soup is one
soup I cook quite often. Why not...come fall or the colder winter months; most people keep their grills and warm up at home with a soothing comfort soup.
A little spice and garnish. Pinch of curry powder and turmeric powder, if you wish, while you cook the soup; or pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
This time, I did it without
dried herbs of oregano and basil and used coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves instead.
I know a lot of you can have this as a meal on its own, just like myself. However, to get a little protein (balanced nutrition) out of the cabbage and tomatoes, I usually add a hard-boil egg. How I enjoy simplicity at its best:
What do you think of the embroidered table linen? You know how I hated "lacey" stuff when I was much much younger. It feels SO OLD-FASHIONED, so off-beat. But now that I am not so young, I am beginning to see some beauty in such table linen. They can actually be quaint and pretty gorgeous?
What do you think?

I'm not really a big fan of cabbage unless we're talking about chopped-up stir-fried-with-a-bit-of-soy-sauce cabbage. Or cabbage with corned beef. But that does look pretty good.
My favorite soup to make is roasted corn and red pepper soup. I haven't yet been able to find a fantastic recipe, (I was introduced to it on campus) but when I do, my life will be complete.I envision this with the good tried-and-true mirepoix; onion, celery and carrot base. It looks good! I think we're going to try it!
Cilantro and cabbage? I had in mind a more German or Irish flair to this soup. Not a fan.
@amyunicorn@xanga - I agree! I didn't know it had a name, I make my veggie soup like that, with the tomatoes, cabbage and chicken broth.
@babybug329@xanga - They also call it the "Holy Trinity" for soup base. My hubby doesn't want the egg, but I'll probably do it for mine :)
your specific picture looks SO effin good. Especially with the egg and vegetables in that clearish not super cloudy broth... looks so good. I will make later, thanks!!!
