Mushroom and Winter Vegetable Soup
Cabbage and mushrooms, two nutrient-rich foods, team up in this hearty, healthy winter vegetarian soup that goes well with thin dark rye or pumpernickel toast.
Ingredients
1/2 cup dried shiitake mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large parsnip, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small head green cabbage, shredded
1 1/4 cups frozen baby lima beans
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large parsnip, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small head green cabbage, shredded
1 1/4 cups frozen baby lima beans
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine shiitakes and 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Let stand until softened, about 20 minutes, then remove mushrooms, reserving liquid. Trim stems from mushrooms and coarsely chop caps. Strain liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter into a small bowl.
- Heat oil in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté at least 5 minutes or until onion is golden. Add carrot and parsnip and sauté 5 minutes or until carrot is crisp-tender.
- Stir in cabbage and cook, covered, 5 minutes or until beginning to wilt. Stir in 3 cups water, mushrooms, soaking liquid, lima beans, dill, tomato paste, vinegar and salt. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 25 minutes or until mushroom and winter vegetable soup is richly flavoured.

Thank you for your reply. My health needs are well-managed. I am enjoying the magazine and the web-site and will calcluate the nutrition infomation myself. It surprises me that a "health" magazine would not have this information available.
Hi Annette, thanks for your comment. We publish nutritional information whenever possible but unfortunately, some of our recipe sources don't have it available. You may want to consult with your doctor or a nutritionist about choosing recipes that meet your health needs when specific nutritional breakdowns aren't available. And I'll continue to look for more recipes that include the information you're looking for.
