Unstuffed Cabbage Soup Recipe ...
The Taste of Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

UNSTUFFED CABBAGE SOUP INGREDIENTS:

2 Tbsp. oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. cumin
3 cans black beans
2 cups salsa
2 cups vegetable broth
2 Tbsp. lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:

In a large skillet, sauté onion, garlic and cumin in the oil until onions are tender. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes or longer.

SUBSTITUTIONS:
• Instead of the three cans of beans, you can use six cups of cooked beans of your choice.
• If you are using canned vegetable broth and it comes in a 14 oz. can, you can add water to equal two cups liquid.
• For a non vegetarian version, substitute chicken stock or beef broth for the vegetable broth.

VARIATIONS:
• Replace the black beans with kidney beans, red beans, beans in chili sauce, or pork and beans.
• To make Calico Bean Salsa Soup, use one can black beans, one can white northern beans, and one can kidney beans instead of the three cans of black beans.

COMMENTS:
• The kind of salsa (mild, medium, hot, or extra hot) you use determines the spiciness of the soup.
• If you want a spicier soup, add a few drops of hot pepper sauce.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
• Garnish with dollops of sour cream or plain yogurt.
• Serve with thick slices of crusty bread and grapefruit sections (fresh or canned) for a complete meal.
