Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup

It’s all about moderation.

 

A “sweet”-and-sour soup like this does contain sugar. But look at the yield and the rest of the ingredients. A half-cup in a huge pot like this will yield only two teaspoons per bowl…and the other ingredients are almost calorie-free.

how can I add chopped meat to this?

This wasn't the best soup I've ever made.
It had a very distinct flavor, and will probably be either loved or disliked, so I'd give it a try only if the ingredients appeal to you.
Tomato paste and vinegar were the tastes that stood out most to me. It was pretty spicy, and the sweet taste the more tomatoes than anything. It was a sour cabbage soup more than a sweet and sour one. Word of warning: don't cut the sugar, since it will be VERY hot if you do.
It was nice for a change, though I can't say I'm going to make it again.

coleslaw How big a bag of coleslaw is the recipe speaking about? 400 grams, 1 kilo? (I live in Israel)

A standard bag of coleslaw in the US is 8 oz.

Delicious! So easy to make. I added a marrow bone and it was really tasty! Thank you for the recipe!

Was a hit with my family My husband and young kids loved this. It’s also healthy and different and all that makes this recipe a winner for me. It is a little hot (‘hot’ as in spicy) but that didn’t seem to matter to my family.
