Vegan Monday: Red Cabbage And Apple Soup With Caraway Seeds

Published by Asli

Red cabbage. A vegetable which is rather foreign to me.

This weird relationship ended with this soup.

I must admit that I was slightly suspicious about the idea of “hot hummus” when I first saw a recipe in the mezze cookbook I bought in Istanbul last summer.

Not only it is light, but also it is so delicious that I could probably eat the whole pot when I first made it.
