Healthy Cabbage Recipes

As promised, here are Ryan's healthy recipes for the veggie of the month: cauliflower!

Purple Soup
2 cans chicken broth
½ head of purple cabbage
10 baby carrots
1 cup broccoli
1 cup sliced greens (spinach or kale works best)
1 Tbls minced garlic
Pepper to taste
Preparation: Bring the chicken broth to a boil and then add the carrots (chopped) and cabbage (shredded) and reduce the heat to a simmer. If using kale then cut along the midrib (the fibrous part of the leaf that runs down its middle) and separate the thin leaf from the thicker part. Then take the broccoli and cut the stalk from the crown of the broccoli. Chop up the broccoli stalk and the kale stalk, and add after about 5 minutes along with the garlic. When tender (about 5 more minutes) wilt the kale/spinach on the top and add the pepper to taste. Enjoy this super healthy soup!
