| How To Cook: |

|
|
SOUP:
|
1. In a heavy 4- to 5-quart casserole, combine the cabbage, carrots, turnip, sliced onion, bay leaf, salt and water.
|
2. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer partially covered for 30 minutes.
|
|
SOFRITO:
|
1. Heat the olive oil over moderate heat in a heavy 8-to 10-inch skillet.
|
2. When a light haze forms above it, add the chopped onions and garlic to the oil and, stirring frequently, cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and transparent but not brown.
|
3. Stir in the tomatoes and the parsley, bring to a boil and cook briskly, uncovered, until almost all of the liquid in the pan has evaporated.
|
|
ASSEMBLE:
|
1. Stir the sofrito into the simmering soup, add the julienned potato and continue cooking for 20 minutes, then add the peas and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more or until the vegetables are tender.
|
2. Taste for seasoning and serve at once from a heated tureen or in individual soup plates.
