Now that winter (=rain) has finally arrived in Israel, thoughts turn

to hot, filling soups, like:

1/2 cup boiling water

4 cups red cabbage chopped

finely chopped peanuts, for garnish

 

1. In a soup pot over a medium high heat, cook onion in 1/2 cup

vegetable stock until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in spices and

cayenne and cook 1 minute.

 

2. Add remaining vegetable stock, black-eyed peas, carrots, tomatoes,

corn and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered,

for 30 minutes.
