Why This Dish Is A Crowd Favorite
This soup is light and nourishing, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a warm meal without the extra calories. It’s packed with vegetables and flavor, making it both satisfying and healthy. Plus, it’s easy to prepare and great for any season.
Step 1
Pour the vegetable broth into a large pot. Add the cabbage, celery, onions, and mushrooms, then bring everything to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
Step 2
While the soup is simmering, divide a quarter cup of bean sprouts into each of your serving bowls. Sprinkle some green onions and jalapenos on top of the sprouts to add a fresh, spicy kick.
Step 3
When the soup is ready, ladle it over the toppings in each bowl. Finish off with a drizzle of Sriracha sauce to taste, and serve it right away while it’s warm and comforting.
