Wacky soup

Stop don’t click away! No horror movie dish, it is edible. The color should make you either : Click away or Curious about the ingredient.
Wouldn’t be fun to serve such a soup? If you have a kid who oppose to vegetables and soup, sure they will be very curious to taste this one :)
Without further confusion, I reveal the ingredient. The combo of red cabbage and potato create such an eye glimpsing mauve color.
Some information about the red cabbage: the plant changes its colour according to the pH value of the soil, due to a pigment called anthocyanin. (source:Wikipedia.org)
However, when you cook the purple cabbage turns blue, to retain the color add some vinegar or some acidity fruit.
If you are not a salad/cold slaw person, pickling the red cabbage is the best way to retain the nutritient value.
The recipe is very easy and made with few ingredients:

Salt: according ur taste
Olive oil: 1 tsp

Method:

I did the soup in my pressure cooker. You can use a big pot if you don’t have a pressure cooker.

Heat the oil, saute the onion add the cabbage, potato and ginger . Pour about less than 2 cups of water, season with cumin powder and close the lid.
Pressure cook in high flame , switch off after 2 whistles. Once the pressure is realeased completely, open the lid and with hand blender make a fine puree.
Adjust the salt, serve in bowl add a dollop of sour cream, cilantro and some more cumin powder, black pepper.
Enjoy this creamy purple soup.

My purple soup will go directly to Suneshinemom's table who is hosting FIC purple & black theme, I choose this purple to make her happy :)
