A large red onion should be cut into four parts and cut into thin slices.


In a saucepan on sunflower or olive oil with the addition of sugar, simmer the onion. It should become soft and slightly change color. This will take 4-6 minutes.


Slice the red cabbage thinly.


Add it to the onion and pour in the important ingredient - wine vinegar. It is thanks to him that the dish will acquire a delicious lilac color, and the sugar that we added at the onion frying stage will smooth out the acid and balance the taste.

Simmer cabbage with onions for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.


Pour the vegetable broth into the lilac mass, let the entire contents boil and cook for about half an hour.
You can see in the photo that my broth is a pale orange color. I made it with carrots, celery root, onion and a clove of garlic. Such a fragrant broth will only enhance the taste of the soup, so try to use the broth too, and not replace it with just boiled water.

While the soup is cooking garlic croutons.


Cut the slices of the lean loaf into cubes. Squeeze 2 cloves of garlic through a garlic press and combine them with 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil. Drizzle the garlic butter on the loaf cubes and arrange them in the form in which they will be baked. I chose glass mold, but you can decompose future croutons on a baking sheet.


Dry the croutons for 3-5 minutes at 160 degrees (preheat the oven to this temperature). Control the browning time of the bread yourself, guided by the characteristics of your oven.


In half an hour, the soup should be completely cooked, and in the finale, you can add spices: salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grind the contents with an immersion blender right in the pan, pour into plates, sprinkle with garlic croutons and, if desired, add your favorite spices. I chose oregano.

Lean puree soup red cabbage with garlic croutons can be called modest and light meal, but it is simply impossible to forget its taste and color.

I strongly advise you to serve and eat such a soup fresh - only cooked, the next day it loses its velvety structure, aroma and richness.

Be sure to feel the cabbage: if the head is dense and tight, and the leaves look fresh and whole, then you have a fruit of excellent quality. If the head of cabbage seems loose and soft, then most likely the fruit is rotten inside. Young fruits are most suitable for making soup - the red cabbage harvest season falls on August-September.
