  • Instead of the usual rich, heavy soups, try this light, low-calorie one — your family will love it. It's perfect for anyone watching their figure. The soup comes out really tasty and works for lunch or dinner. Napa cabbage gives a fresh twist to the familiar mushroom soup and lends it a pleasant flavor. Napa cabbage (Chinese cabbage) is easier to digest than ordinary green cabbage and works as a substitute for it; it's good in soups, vegetable stews, side dishes, and cabbage rolls, and it also holds up well pickled, salted, fermented, or dried. Button mushrooms are mostly water but pack in protein with very few calories, which makes them great in a diet — most of their protein is easily digested, and they're filling. Now to cook: set a pot of water over the heat. While it comes to a boil, peel the onion and carrot. Dice the onion small and grate the carrot on the coarse holes of a grater. Set a skillet over the heat, add oil, and sauté the onion and carrot until soft. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Once the water boils, add the potatoes and the sautéed onion and carrot. Salt it and add the bay leaf. Meanwhile, rinse the mushrooms, cut them into cubes or slices (your choice), and sauté them in a skillet. Coarsely chop the napa cabbage. When the potatoes are soft, add the mushrooms and napa cabbage and cook until done. At the end, stir in the cream and pepper. Let it simmer 5 more minutes and sprinkle with herbs. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 30 minutes.
