Corn Cabbage Soup from The Easy Vegan Cookbook

Photo by Ann Oliverio

 The Easy Vegan Cookbook is my cookbook full of easy recipes that you can fit into a busy schedule. It contains nutritional information and has gluten-free, soy-free and oil-free options. You know me, I want everyone to eat well!

Ann Oliverio did a great job on the photography for the book, including this photo for the Corn Cabbage Soup. This is an old favorite and one of my less pageant worthy soups. However, Ann was up for the challenge. She also added in some purple cabbage for color. She’s sneaky like that!

I love this easy-to-make corn soup that gets its wow factor from sriracha and sesame oil. The onion, mushrooms, and ginger create a flavorful broth.

There are instructions to make it on the stove-top or take the easy way out and make it in your 4-quart slow cooker.

What’s your go-to cabbage recipes? I also love a big bowl of cabbage and beet borscht once the weather starts to cool. In my winter CSA, I get about 1 or 2 cabbages a week, so I always need all the ideas that I can get!

Corn Cabbage Soup from The Easy Vegan Cookbook

This soup isn’t the prettiest, but the taste is bold and delicious. This recipe is my favorite way to use up the extra cabbage from my CSA.

• 1 1/2 cups 105 g minced mushrooms
• Pinch of salt
• 2 to 3 teaspoons 10-15 g minced ginger

Instructions

• STOVE-TOP METHODSauté the onion in oil (*or water) until it’s translucent, then add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the mushrooms have cooked down and released their liquid, about 10 minutes.

• Before serving, add sesame, sriracha and soy sauce (**or coconut aminos). Adjust seasonings if needed.
• SLOW COOKER METHODTo prep the night before, sauté the onion in oil (*or water) until it’s translucent, then add the garlic and cook one more minute. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the mushrooms have cooked down and released their liquid. Store the cooked mixture with cut cabbage and corn in the refrigerator overnight.
• In the morning, add everything except sesame, sriracha and soy sauce (**or coconut aminos) to your 4-quart (4-L) slow cooker. Cook 7 to 9 hours on low.
• Before serving, add sesame, sriracha and soy sauce (**or coconut aminos). Adjust seasonings if needed.

Notes

Cheater Slow Cooker Shortcut: Skip the onion sauté and use ½ teaspoon of onion powder instead. Then add the raw mushrooms into the slow cooker for a throw-it-all-in-and-go meal!
