A hearty and healthful vegetarian soup high in fibre, iron, vitamins C and A.

Ingredients
1 head of cabbage
5 celery stalks
8 chopped asparagus spears
4 cups vegetable broth
4 cups water
1 diced onion
5 diced garlic cloves
3 chopped leeks
1/2 cup parsley
2 sprays pam
1 pinch bay leaves
1 pinch chopped chives
4 tbsp soy milk
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
Directions
  1. In large pan, sautee onions and garlic with pam over medium heat.

  2. In large pot bring 6-8 cups of water to a boil with 2 cubes veg stock.

  3. Once onions and garlic are soft add chopped leek, as the leeks and onions brown add it to stock.

  4. Flash fry the cabbage on high heat, then add the asparagus spears and cabbage to the soup mix, setting the asparagus tops aside.

  5. Add non-fat milk or soy milk and the bayleaves as well as 1/5 of the chopped parsley.

  6. Once all the ingredients in the pot are soft and cooked, remove a few cups of the soup and blend or use a hand blender. Leave some chunks so the soup has texture.

  7. Add the asparagus tops now and cook until just soft. Add remaining parsley.

  8. Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and fresh ground pepper, garnish with chives and parsley.
