Sweet Sour Cabbage Soups I have eaten this in restaurants and it has a
very good flavor, but I can't determine what the spices are

Sweet And Sour Cabbage Soup

3 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 TSP red pepper flakes
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
6 cups finely shredded red cabbage
1 cup canned plum tomatoes, drained and chopped
6 cups chicken stock
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
sour cream and finely chopped chives

In a large heavy pot heat olive oil and cook onions until translucent. Add
the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring for one
minute. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar and bring to a
simmer. Add the cabbage and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes and chicken
stock and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer
soup for 30 to 40 minutes uncovered until cabbage is very tender. Taste
soup and adjust seasonings with more salt and pepper, balsamic vinegar, or
brown sugar if you like. Add parsley and stir. Serve hot with a dollop of
sour cream and chives.
