Soup can of course be made from any vegetables there is. I had never done that with pointed cabbage before. But I had six left and wanted to give it a try. It became the hit of the menu. And was even allowed to appear in the Christmas menu. Pointed cabbage works great, white cabbage is also delicious. The fennel seeds make it a party.

Ingredients

  • 1 pointed cabbage or white cabbage

  • 2 Onions

  • 10 cloves garlic

  • 150 gram white almonds

  • 250 ml coconut milk

  • 75 gram sour berries

  • 4 vegetable broth

  • 2 table spoon fennel seeds

  • 100 gram pumpkin or sunflower seeds

  • olive oil

  • 1 table spoon sumac

Cooking time

  • The delicious sweet cabbage taste of the soup stands or falls with the good frying of the chopped cabbage in oil. It should really brown, bake softly and get a full flavor. Therefore, do this first. Maybe also in different batches, so that the cabbage has a good chance to bake.
  • Fry the onions in a soup pan in the olive oil. Add the garlic cloves. And fry everything for ten minutes until soft. Add the cabbage from the other pan and fry for a while. Then add the almonds and as much water as possible until the vegetables and almonds are 1 centimeter submerged. Let it simmer for ten minutes. With the lid of the pan.
    Grind the fennel in a spice grinder or in a mortar. If you don’t have that, just add it to the pan.
    Place the sour berries under water in a bowl.
  • It is now a matter of assessing whether the soup is liquid enough to puree it well. Puree the soup with a stick blender. If this is difficult or the soup remains too thick, add a good splash of water. You can keep doing this until you think it’s right. Don’t forget that you also add coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In another dry frying pan, roast your seeds until brown and crispy all over.
    Squeeze the sourberries and pat them dry a little.
  • Pour the soup into bowls. Place the seeds and sour berries in the middle and sprinkle some sumac all around.
