Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion -- chopped

2 cloves garlic -- chopped

3/4 cup TVP flakes

1 pound cabbage (about half a medium head) -- quartered, cored,

and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips

4 carrots -- chopped

2 ribs celery -- chopped

1 28 oz can plum tomatoes -- drained and chopped

1 turnip -- peeled and quartered

1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns

4 cups vegetable stock or water

1 16 oz can sauerkraut -- rinsed and squeezed dry

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 to 3 tablespoons honey or unbleached cane sugar (according

to taste)

1 bay leaf

salt and freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup minced fresh dill weed

1/2 cup minced Italian parsley

sour cream (soy or cow's milk) (optional)

 

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Saute the

onion and garlic until the onion is lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

Mix in the TVP, stirring until it has darkened from absorbing some of the oil in

the vegetables.

Add the cabbage, carrots, celery, tomatoes, turnip, and peppercorns. Pour in

the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 1 hour.

Add the sauerkraut, lemon juice, honey, and bay leaf. Simmer 1 hour more,

adding water if necessary.

Remove the bay leaf and season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls.

Garnish each bowl with a tablespoon each of the dill and parsley and serve,

accompanied by the sour cream, if using.

Variation: In place of the TVP, sometimes I use 1 pound of firm regular tofu

cut into 1-inch cubes. The tofu is added along with the cabbage and tomatoes.
