I can't believe no one else has reviewed this recipe - apologies to the mods if I'm mistaken and just couldn't find other reviews.
It was AMAZING. I made this for a guy friend, and he raved and BEGGED for a take-home container.
This is really more like chilli con carne than a soup - but way way way better.
The combination of the sweet potato mash on the bottom, and the "noodles" of the cabbage, and then the yummy flavour of the soup itself- just really enjoyed it.
I used canned coconut milk when making the sweet potato mash, and would really recommend it, since the coconut flavour comes through very nicely.
The mixing bowl is FULL (past the max line) which made me nervous, but the varoma on top kept things contained. There was definitely NOT enough room to stir in the cabbage, so we just did the bowls with a couple scoops of mash, a bunch of cabbage, and then the soup ladled on top. With a dollop of plain greek yoghurt to finish it off.
This would be awesome for a crowd - I was imagining it for a super bowl party here in North America. If I was doing it for more people I'd increase the amount of sweet potatoes and cabbage by another 50%. and maybe increase the amount of beans if I could fit it in the mixing bowl!
