Healing Cabbage Soup

Very tasty and so easy to make! Added carrots and chopped celery, really good with some good bread.

I made this soup for my husband and I to take to work as a healthy lunch alternative. My husband likes it just as it is, bit I can see enhancing it with other veggies and maybe some red pepper flakes to give it a little more jazz. Easy, fast and economical! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I love this recipe

This soup recipe is easy to make and very customizable. I had few carrots so I added those as well, but I could see doing a whole fridge clean out and adding all sorts of veggies to this soup. I will be making it again! Very warming and filling on these cooler Fall days!

I gave this recipe a 4, but had made changes… Doubled it to make lots of leftovers for winter & to use the entire head of cabbage. 2 1/2 T of better than bullion 1 T Italian seasoning 1 T crushed red pepper generous black pepper 12 cloves of garlic 2x tomatoes (substituted fire roasted) With all that I really liked it. Never cooked cabbage before.

I took Heather’s review (from 03/17/06) suggestions and added a few of my own. I used 1/2 of a very large onion, double the garlic (4 cloves total), I had to add a tad more olive oil because the onion was so big. using Heather’s suggestions, I added Italian seasoning, and a dash of cayenne. I might’ve added more pepper than was recommended, too. I added some roasted chicken (leftovers from a day ago) and I really loved it; the cayenne gives a little kick! Caution about adding rice, I accidentally added – it took over the soup, absorbing too much of the liquid – maybe keep rice as a side instead, lol. The 2nd time I made this, I added all the liquid from the can of tomatoes and it was successful.

I love this recipe. I add celery and rotisserie chicken. I also add a good amount of turmeric. We make a big batch and eat it all week.

Great and simple base recipe to make it your own. I make almost everything in larger quantities as most soups, stews and chili can be froze. I use ziplock bags usually single or double servings. I added 5 medium white onions and 4 garlic cloves all fine chopped, sauteed in a separate saute pan not the final pot. Added about 4 cups of ck broth with about 12 cups of water, boiled and added a full head of organic cabbage and chopped half it semi fine and half longer pieces. Added in three bell peppers and two green peppers chopped semi fine. 5 stalks of celery chopped into larger pieces. Added in half a bag of mixed vegetables along with good amounts of cayenne pepper, paprika, salt and black pepper. Added about 30-40 ozs of cooked cut chicken breast and 30 ozs of diced tomatoes at the end and simmered from there about 40 minutes. Just a great tasting and healthy meal anytime of the year.

No doubt this base recipe is awesome and I’ll use this again and again! I have gobs of homemade chick-stock & used that. I doubled the garlic and also added can of Rotelle tomatoes, 2 hot Italian sausages, a red and an orange pepper, turmeric, onion powder, dash of sage, 1T kosher salt, 1/2T pepper. With 10 minutes to go, I added Tricolor veggie Rotini and broccoli florettes. (used most of my on-hand produce). We are big soup lovers and this one is FABULOUS!!!! His nibs wouldn’t let me give some away to neighbors. Can’t wait to try again with more of a chili flavor using cumin, fennel, taragon, and more.

Very good, comforting soup.

This soup is my go to when a family member is sick . I will sometimes use rotel spicy diced tomatoes for a kick

I love this easy, healthy recipe! We made it at Christmastime for a healthy boost and have been making monthly since! I add some turmeric and sometimes ground turkey to make it heartier for the family.

This soup is in constant rotation in my monthly food plan. To make it even tastier and easier, I used Italian style diced tomatoes, and include the juices and buy a bag of coleslaw mix instead of the head of cabbage! It works like a charm and cuts out the waste and wasted time of chopping myself. My entire family, including my toddler granddaughter LOVE this every single time! Thanks for the inspiration!!

I made this with a side of dinner rolls and some medium spice pork sausage added to the soup. My husband and I loved it. If you’re looking for a heavy stew or chili, keep scrolling, cause this was nice and light.

We made it with coconut oil, veggie broth, extra onions and garlic and added some Kimchi and that made it so Amazing!!

Excellent recipe. I only changed one quart of water and one quart chicken stock. Also used Better Than Bouillon instead of granules. In the last 30 minute simmer I added frozen peas and carrots and some mushrooms as suggested by recipe author. Fantastic flavor!

Good by following the recipe but also good because of adaptability; add-ons, etc. I intended to follow the recipe but was out of chicken broth so used Better than Bullion Beef. And, my mistake, chopped tomatoes were for chili so had extra spices. Turned out just fine.

So easy and tasty! Great for a cold evening! I added some leftover pork tenderloin and it made a complete meal.

Recently found out I was diabetic so is started looking for foods to improve my diet. Out of everything I’ve tried, I’ve found a few keepers. This recipe being at the top of that list. I cook this on Sunday, store the leftovers in the fridge, and eat it throughout the week. Not only as a meal, but as a late night snack. A cup of this soup runs away those late hour munchies. I just use canned chicken, usually, for convenience. The use of Italian Style tomatoes makes a huge difference for some reason. And I add a few dashes of Tabasco when eating. This recipe grades a high A in my book. Easy to cook. Tastes great, and you can keep making changes to it to keep it “fresh”. Try substituting hamburger for the chicken, using beef broth instead of chicken broth. Also awesome. I’ve lost 46lbs in the last several months (and still falling), this recipe being a major contributor to that.

Easy to make and very tasty!

This is a great easy quick soup! I sometimes add some cooked carrots and/Or leftover roasted chicken.
