    List of Ingredients




    Cabbage-Dill Chowder

    1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 large Vidalia onion, halved and thinly sliced
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons water
    3 carrots, thinly sliced
    5 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 large head)
    1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 cup minced fresh dill
    3 tablespoons cider vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream

    Recipe



    1. In a vegetable steamer, cook the potatoes until firm-tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.

    2. Meanwhile, in a nonstick Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and water, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened, about 7 minutes.

    3. Add the carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, and salt, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and the carrots are crisp-tender, about 7 minutes.

    4. Stir in the potatoes. Add the broth, 2/3 cup of the dill, the vinegar, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover again, and cook for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.

    5. Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkled with the remaining dill.

    Serves 4

    Note: If you haven't ever tried steaming potatoes, you will be surprised that it actually works. The health benefit to this is that you do not sacrifice any of the potato's water-soluble B vitamins to the cooking water. However, if you do not have a vegetable steamer, you can cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling water for about 10 minutes
