Beef and Cabbage Soup, healthy comfort food, Paleo and Keto Friendly. Whole 30 compliant. #beefcabbagesoup #whole30soup #paleosoup #spinachtiger via @angelaroberts

I made a beef and cabbage soup way back in May and there it sat completely forgotten. It’s a classic combination of broth, cabbage and beef jumping with flavors and bringing winter’s comfort.

Cabbage Beef Soup

To be honest, it’s still hot here in Nashville, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to wait for this super food soup that  is made with a tomato broth, grass fed beef cubes and fresh cabbage.

Beef and Cabbage Soup.

Cabbage and beef is a hearty soup. Even though it devoid of starches, it will fill you up and lure you into a second bowl.

Beef Cabbage Soup

Here’s a funny. As a child I hated cabbage, to the point of getting into a huge fight at the table when my mom put it in some soup. I learned then to never force a child to eat something, as children have different taste buds, which develop and evolve over time. I don’t believe in food fights or food forcing. I do believe in gentle persuasion. As a child I refused cabbage, liver, lamb, dark meat chicken, turkey legs, mushrooms, brussels sprouts, turnips, collard greens, figs and dates. I now love all of these foods, but it was slow development in adulthood.

Keto Cabbage and Beef Soup Process

Like all foods that are hot buttons, cabbage can be delicious or really terrible. I do not like cabbage that is cooked into nothing and for heaven’s sakes do not, I repeat, do not put cabbage in an instant pot. Your house will stink for days. I’m not a fan of the instant pot at all for the very reason of bad kitchen smells, particularly with meat and most definitely with cabbage.

Cabbage Beef Soup from Spinach Tiger

This is not a hard soup, but you must take the time to brown the meat and sauté the carrots, onion and celery. There will be a 30 minute prep time. It seems today that folks want to be able to throw all the food into a crock pot and have it magically make a good soup. It doesn’t work that way. It is an easy soup in that you don’t have to be exact if you follow some basic cooking tips.

Tips for Beef and Cabbage Soup

  • Brown the meat. You don’t have to dredge in flour. I avoid that, but you certainly can if you want to. Try tapioca flour if you want to dredge but we’re going for soup not stew.
  • Use the best can of San Marzano Tomatoes. I like this brand best. Use your hands to squish into the broth.
  • Don’t overcook the cabbage.

This is that soup that’s always better left over and is perfect for batch cooking and freezing.

    Can you please explain why we are tossing out the carrot, celery and onion?

      You start with large chunks celery carrots to make stock. They are then discarded and fresh vegetables added which are cut into bite sized pieces.

The quickest five minute low-carb dessert: Whipped Ricotta with a little bit of swerve, vanilla or berries. I use a mini food processor and voila.  I’ve seen a lot of recipes use honey, which would be great too (especially spread on toast). This is my keto version of a fast sweet treat.

_______________________________________

* 1 small head red cabbage
* 1 large carrot
* 1/4 cup salted roasted pumpkin seeds may need up to 1/2 cup
* Shallot Vinaigrette
* 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
* 2 tablespoons minced shallots
* 1/4 cup white wine vinegar can use red wine or white wine or champagne vinegar
* juice of 1/2 lemon
* 1/2 to 3/4 cups extra virgin olive oil
* sea salt
* pepper
Instructions
* Trim red cabbage and shred with either food processor, knife or spiralizer.

* Peel and trim carrot. Julienne or shred. Add to cabbage. You can use more carrot if you like. I just used a small amount for color.

* Toss cabbage with vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Toss again. Taste to make sure the cabbage is acidic enough. As it marinates, it will lose some of the acid.

* Add pumpkin seeds, reserving some for topping right before serving.

Shallot Vinaigrette
* Mix mustard, shallots, lemon juice and vinegar.

* Add oil. Shake in jar or use whisk to incorporate.

* Add dressing. You may not use all of the dressing, depending on size of head of cabbage used.

am so excited to say this is a KETO  TIRAMISU, grain free, gluten free, sugar free, but you would never know it. 👩🏻‍🍳Many tricky parts to conquer. First, there are no keto lady fingers. I used my keto yellow cake batter to make cake fingers. 👩🏻‍🍳❤️Worked like a charm and did not fall apart when dipped into espresso. Second tricky part: Making the sabayon (eggs yolks w sweetener  warmed and beaten in bain marie) which takes ten minutes of constant stirring. Also tricky to use swerve and not sugar and not getting grainy, as erythritol doesn’t break down the same way sugar does. There was also a warning about the mascarpone curdling. That didn’t happen either. So maybe I  got lucky. Next time will tell. I also added Red Eye Rye (coffee infused rye) to my espresso because to me tiramisu is not tiramisu without liquor. It came out so good 😋😋and very soon, I’ll soon be posting my recipe. 
_______________________________________ 
One of the things I love about alternative baking is the challenge. I get so energized trying to see if I can take a classic and cut out the grains and sugar. I honestly believe this is no longer a trend, but a way of life for many people who never want to return to sugar and it’s headaches (literally). It’s a movement to revolutionize the mistakes from the latter half of the last century that has made so many people sick and compromised. I see this as bigger picture thing than just enjoying a dessert. We are recreating and creating what it means to eat.

Happy Chocolate Day or should I say Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️💘Can you believe this is the first time I’ve ever made chocolate bark? I needed an emergency chocolate dessert for a gathering (I thought was going to be cancelled). I had the chocolate (that yum 72 % huge chocolate bar from Trader Joe’s), 🍫a pomegranate, pecans and almonds (I roasted with salt), some sunflower seeds, dried cherries and dried cranberries. Melt chocolate in bain marie (fancy word for bowl over simmering water), pour on parchment and then artfully or not so artfully arrange your stuff on the chocolate. 🍫Refrigerate for ONE HOUR and boom! Everyone LOVED it and ate it all up. The pomegranates gave it that little extra something something and don’t forget some sea salt. 😋❤️
Do you make bark? Do you eat all the chocolate you want on Valentine’s Day?

I had my first porchetta in San Francisco and my second in Lucca, Tuscany. This is mock porchetta from the Zuni Cafe Cookbook that gets you close enough in your own kitchen. Stuff  the pork butt with fennel seeds, garlic, rosemary, sage, capers and lemon and cook to slow to fork tender. It’s amazing as sandwich on sliders with arugula. Or…like this with root vegetables.

I’m always looking for a new way to make chicken.👩🏻‍🍳 Ricotta stuffed chicken breasts is 30 minutes from start to finish. Writing this recipe up today, but it’s pretty easy. Pound the breasts thin. Mix ricotta with chopped spinach, mozzarella, parmesan, salt and pepper. Fold. Top with pork panko (crumbs made from pork rinds). Fry on one side. Turn over. Put in oven. Bake about 15-20 minutes. You could go right to the oven and bake longer. Serve with lemon.

I spiced it up with some Trader Joe’s  bomba sauce, ❤️👩🏻‍🍳which in case you haven’t noticed, I put it in EVERYTHING. Recipe coming soon.
