Vegetable soup with pumpkin, cabbage and tomato paste is a thick vegetarian soup made from seasonal vegetables. In terms of the composition of the products, this dish is quite ordinary, and in the method of preparation it is slightly different from traditional methods. I saw the idea of cooking from the Italians, although not only in this country are soups prepared in this way. The principle is simple - each ingredient is fried, a rich taste is gradually gained.
So in this recipe - first pass the onions, send a carrot to it, followed by cabbage with tomato puree. Stew vegetables without a lid, they can even “squander” a little on the walls and bottom of the pan, vegetable broth then deglazes everything. I love cabbage soup with cabbage, but I can't stand the smell, which, even with a powerful extract, hovers around the house, and in this recipe everything works out harmoniously, it smells delicious and appetizing!
By the way, you can grind the finished vegetarian soup with pumpkin in a blender and take it to work. Warm up in the microwave and get a delicious and healthy lunch!
