Red cabbage as a side dish for a roast dinner or a festive meal: that's something we all know and love.
Red cabbage soup, whether it's served on its own or as a starter: now that's a little more unusual, but it tastes exceptionally good. This recipe for red cabbage soup is extremely delicious. Try it for yourself. It will really surprise you – and your guests. It's very straightforward to make.
At first glance, our red cabbage soup might remind you of the classic Russian soup Borscht, which is made from beetroot. And the colour really is just as spectacular as the taste. No wonder red cabbage soup is so on-trend and becoming increasingly popular. We decided that red cabbage alone was not enough. We wanted to give the soup even more nuances of flavour. The aniseed flavour of fennel goes very well with red cabbage. And together with pears and the rather more acidic physalis, it gives the red cabbage soup an especially fruity aroma.
By the way, this is the perfect soup for vegetarians – and if you replace the crème fraȋche with a plant-based alternative, then even vegans won't be able to resist.
