This recipe is not traditional Japanese food. We occasionally have it as a hospital meal, school meal and so on. This is good for digestion and low fat and low calorie. Therefore, we sometimes have it as a diet meal. Also some hospitals serve this kind of dish to patients who will soon have surgery, because it reduces visceral fat before the surgery.
Cabbage in spring has a very good taste so it is traditional we have many cabbage dishes in the spring.
In this recipe, the cooking is really easy and takes less than 30 minutes. Significantly, some nutrition from cabbages can break down under heat so please cook for as short as possible after adding cabbage as per the instructions. Also, Cabbage can be eaten raw but it is hard to eat a lot of it that way. So I highly recommend this soup that cooking for less than 20 minutes after adding the cabbage and including vegetables in all soups.
Enjoy the nutritious soup!
{Ingredients (servings 2)}
¼ Green Cabbage
1 Onion
1 Carrot
2 cups Reduced Sodium Chicken Flavor Broth
½ tsp. Salt
A pinch of Black Pepper
1 Tbsp. Gluten-Free Margarine

In this recipe, cabbage is amazingly delicious! It has very tender texture. Also cabbage (especially Spring cabbage) has a great flavor that makes this soup very flavorful 🙂
