Cabbage Soup

Here is a quick and easy, yet tasty soup recipe. You can vary the portion of ingredients to achieve different tastes and textures. Before I go any further, I want to make a few things clear.
In my language oil or olive oil = extra virgin olive oil(EVOO), pepper = fresh ground pepper. If you compromise these and freshness of other ingredients, don't blame me if your dish sucks.
What you need:

1. Cabbage
2. Carrots
3. Onion
4. Garlic cloves
5. Ginger

Chop the above, fry with a little oil on medium, add salt and pepper (about 5 min)
Add water and bring to a boil, cover and cook with cover for about 20 min
Blend (I prefer handheld blender) and return to pot
Add a cup of milk, cook in simmer for 10 more minutes
Adjust salt and pepper and you are done.

Garnish:
Garnishing is very important for both presentation and taste. For soup, use the following items but be careful and creative about how many and what combination works. For example, I don't garnish with cilantro and basil together. Same with green onions and chives. Don't use more than Three.
Garnish candidates:

• Cilantro
• Green onions
• EVOO
• Basil
• Parsley
• Sprouts
• Mint (pudina)
• Avocado
• Fried Onions
• Butter
• Salsa (Recipe in a different post)

Remember: The complexity of a dish lies in it's simplicity. Stick with freshness and fewer ingredients to bring out their taste.
Happy cooking : )
