Hungarian Cauliflower and Cabbage Soup

Get real Hungarian sweet (not hot) paprika for the best flavor. You can also puree all of the soup if you prefer that texture. The yogurt may look slightly curdled, but it will taste fine. From "Diabetes Cooking for Everyone", by Carol Gelles. Exchanges: 1 1/2 vegetable, 1 fat.
