Kapusniak is a thick cabbage soup cooked on meat broth. It is lighter than it looks because cabbage is the base.
About this dish: Kapusniak (cabbage soup)
Kapusniak is a thick soup of cabbage, potato and meat that in Ukraine is cooked with either fresh or fermented cabbage. With sauerkraut it is sour and refreshing, with fresh cabbage milder and sweeter. The base is often a broth of pork ribs or bone, and some cooks add millet to thicken it. It is served hot, with herbs and a spoon of sour cream.
It is light in calories: by the table 100 g is about 45 kcal, and a 350 g bowl roughly 158 kcal and 7 g of protein. The main source of calories here is the fat from the pork that cooks out into the broth. A spoon of sour cream adds another 30 kcal and a slice of bread 55. The cabbage itself gives few calories but a lot of volume, so the soup fills you up fast for its weight.
To keep kapusniak lighter, chill the broth and lift off the set fat, or cook it with chicken breast or turkey: that saves 40-60 kcal per bowl. To add protein, increase the meat, add beans or serve it with an egg. Millet and potato raise the carbohydrate part, so cut them back if needed. Rinse the sauerkraut first if the soup turns out too sour or salty.
