An excellent dish to prepare and let cook while we work on projects, Pig In the Garden Soup is a tasty, low-prep meal with excellent results (and a great way to use a wide variety of those oh, we should eat this veggies). Read more . Best of all, it is easy to make vegetarian or vegan so all can enjoy! Ingredients:
1/2 medium-to-large head of cabbage, chopped |
4 small carrots, chopped into rounds |
1/2 package bacon, chopped (or 1/2 pkg turkey bacon and a splash of olive oil) |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
8 cups water |
1 clove garlic, minced and caramelized (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder) |
2 bundles of udon noodles (or whichever pasta/noodles you prefer) |
2 bullion cubes (we used chicken) |
1/6 cup honey |
a goodly amount of pepper, to taste |
1 level tsp of salt |
1 large, deep pot with lid |
Directions:
1. ***If you'd like to keep the pig out of your garden, then simply replace the bacon/turkey bacon with a fake bacon substitute (such as Stripples), and replace the chicken bullion cubes with either vegetarian bullion with McCabes Chicken Seasoning (which does not contain chicken), or use 4 cups vegetable stock and only 4 cups of water.
2. Chop cabbage, carrots, onions, garlic.
3. In the bottom of the large pan, fry bacon. Use the bacon's natural grease to saute the garlic. If you are using turkey bacon or fake bacon, add a little olive oil to compensate.
4. When both are finished, pour in the water (or your water+stock substitute).
5. Add bullion cubes and chopped vegetables, and bring to a boil.
6. Add pepper, salt, and honey.
7. Cover and cook for 1 hour on medium heat.
8. After one hour, add noodles and let them cook thoroughly, soaking up the stocky goodness.
9. Remove from heat, let cool briefly, and serve! It is a delicious way to soak up soup with stale or harder bread that needs to be eaten.
