INGREDIENT NOTES:

GREEN CABBAGE:

• Use the green cabbage to prepare this soup. This Green cabbage works properly, as it gets soft without falling apart. It is also able to soak the flavors properly and provides body in the stew. Use the savory cabbage to provide a soft texture. Try to avoid using red cabbage, as it alters the hue of the stew.

YUKON GOLD POTATOES:

• Yukon Gold Potatoes provide the creaminess, and they also hold the shape of the stew. Try to avoid using the russet potatoes, as they break easily. It leads to thickening the consistency of broth; though you can use it if you desire a thick consistency.

CARROTS & CELERY:

• Use the carrots & celery to add the basic flavor to the soup. They help to make the balance and add a light, sweet taste to them. They also provide important nutrients and fiber content.

GARLIC & ONIONS:

• Garlic & onions are used to provide the depth in taste and aroma of the dish. They get slightly golden while cooking to add flavor. It is best to use fresh onion & garlic for a nice taste.

BROTH:

• Use less sodium-containing broth to control the seasoning as you like. It provides an indulgent taste in the stew. Don’t use the strong mushroom-flavored broth if you want to make it light.
