COOKING
1. Heat the butter in the pan and fry the onions until translucent. Now add the garlic and ginger to the onions in the pot and fry until fragrant.
2. Now add the potato and apple pieces and the red cabbage. Stir everything and sauté for about 5 minutes. Now deglaze with the balsamic vinegar, stir briefly and then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to boil and then simmer on low heat with the lid closed for 20-30 minutes until the red cabbage has softened.
3. In the meantime, prepare the croutons. To do this, cut the baguette into cubes and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt and garlic powder and mix well so that the bread cubes are covered on all sides. Roast at 180°C (350° F) for approx. 5-8 minutes until golden brown. The time may vary depending on your oven. Remove the croutons from the oven and leave to cool.
4. Once the red cabbage is soft, remove the pot from the heat and puree with a hand blender to the desired consistency.
5. Now add 50g creme fraiche, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, pepper and chilli to taste.
6. Pour the soup into deep plates and top with creme fraiche, chilli oil, parsley and croutons.
