After enjoying the cooked cabbage soup, and receiving the thumbs up from my Mum who has made her own variation of cabbage soup in the past, I decided to try a similar combination as a raw soup.
Recipe Ingredients:
2 dates
Sprigs of mint and basil
100g cabbage
Small apple cored
130g water
Mint as garnish
Instructions:
Mill dates for 15 seconds on speed 7.
Add mint, basil, cabbage, apple and water and blend for 30 seconds on speed 8.
Sprinkle the soup with some mint sprigs

I really enjoyed this as the cabbage and apple melded together very nicely. It probably helps that I like eating cabbage raw, which I was doing as I cut the cabbage into chunks. Perhaps that explains why there wasn’t enough, which I’ll fix next time by including more. I might not worry about the dates in the future as they seemed superfluous and the soup would have been smoother without them. Alternatively, I could soak the dates overnight which might soften them enough to blend in with the other ingredients.
All in all, I consider this a successful lunch, albeit as an appetizer as I didn’t make enough and even with more of this soup I would most likely supplement with another small dish.
