Well, how many of you buy a cabbage and a poor vegetable stays in a fridge for a day, two, or maybe a week..? It happens to me sometimes. And it just so hard sometimes to make up what to do with it. I was thinking to make cabbage rolls, but they take so long to prepare… Then maybe coleslaw, but you also need to prepare some meat accompany it or so. Finally, you can make a soup, and if you don’t want simple/usual cabbage soup, you need a new idea!

Delicious, light, but also filling Majorcan soup – another soup lover discovery. Although this soup can be called a stew as well, not only because of the appearance, but also due to the satiety feeling that it gives. Anyway, usually I prefer soup with at least one or a few pieces of meat in it, otherwise it’s difficult to get full, but this soup is a real exception. Becoming a vegetarian for a day or two hasn’t hurt anyone, and having a pot of such a yummy soup – it’s not even easy, but so tasty!
