Step 1

Heat a little oil in a large, non-stick soup pot. Add the chopped onion and fry for about 3 minutes. Add the spices and fry for another minute. Add the chopped sour cabbage to the pot and mix well. Add one litre of boiling water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Taste the soup. It should be very sour. If it's too sour for you, you can dilute it with more water. If you decide to add more water, make sure you bring it back to a boil and simmer for another 5 minutes. Repeat until you reach the right taste for you.
