Peasant Cabbage Soup

A quick, nutritious and low fat soup.  Not high in protein, but low in fat.  Hits the spot on a chilly day and adds that extra dish that rounds out a meal.

Ingredients

1 large onion
1/2 head cabbage
1 tbsp olive oil

5 roma tomatoes
6 cups vegetable broth
(1 russet potato, peeled and chopped up, optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3 tbsp brown sugar

Preparation

Chop the onion and begin sauteing with the olive oil in a large pot over moderate heat.  Stir frequently.

Chop the cabbage and add it as you are chopping to the onion.

Dice the tomatoes.

When the cabbage and onion have softened (about 10 min. cooking time), add the tomato, vegetable broth and remaining ingredients.  Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 min.

You can add a peeled and chopped up russet potato with the tomatoes and broth if you want to add substance to this soup.
