A Southern tradition serves up black-eyed peas on New Year's Day to ensure good luck throughout the year, along with ham, which is a symbol of prosperity. A more Zone-friendly tradition comes from the Chinese, who make cabbage dishes on January 1 because cabbage leaves represent paper currency — or so the story goes. Here, just for fun, is the Zone's delicious Cabbage Soup — it's guaranteed to keep you warm (if not wealthy) this year. Happy New Year! Thick Old-Fashioned Cabbage Soup Ingredients 3 soy hot dogs, sliced 3/4 cup celery, diced fine 1/2 cup carrots, diced fine 3/4 cup onions, diced fine 1/2 cup tomato, diced fine 2 cups cabbage, shredded 1 cup diced mushrooms 1 teaspoon olive oil 2 cups chicken stock (or broth) 3/4 clove garlic, minced Dash caraway seeds 1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar Salt and pepper, to taste Instructions Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.
