Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup
Recipe courtesy of Sara Moulton

Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
6 cups finely sliced red cabbage
1 cup chopped and drained plum tomatoes from a can
6 cups chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Sour cream and finely chopped fresh chives, as accompaniments

Directions
In a large heavy pot heat olive oil over moderate heat
and cook the onions until translucent. Add the minced garlic and crushed red
pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and
the brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Add the cabbage and stir to combine. Add
the tomatoes and the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and
pepper, to taste. Simmer the soup, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes until the
cabbage is very tender. Taste soup and adjust seasoning with more balsamic
vinegar, brown sugar, salt and/or pepper. Stir in parsley. Serve hot with a dollop
of sour cream and chives.
