I made WiGal's Creamed Cabbage Soup and then lightened it up a little! You might like to add a tablespoon of low fat cream cheese at the end, to give it a little extra richness. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients:
2 cups vegetable broth or 2 cups chicken broth |
1 medium onion, diced |
1 cup celery, diced |
1/2 medium cabbage, shredded |
2 carrots, diced |
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 cup low-fat margarine |
3 tablespoons flour |
3 cups 2% low-fat milk |
1 cup vegetarian bacon, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
smoked paprika |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine broth and vegetables.
2. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
3. In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour.
4. Gradually whisk in milk; cook and stir until thickened. Stir into vegetable mixture. Add vegetarian bacon, pepper, and thyme; heat through. If you wish, add the cream cheese now, stirring to mix thoroughly. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle a little smoked paprika over the top to garnish. Enjoy!
