Whether you’re feeling under the weather or just in the mood for a bowl of comfort, this cabbage soup is simple to prepare, and loaded with flavor. It’s also very customizable (adding or subtracting veggies of your choice). Cabbage is fairly mild compared to some of it’s cruciferous cousins like kale and broccoli, so easy on the digestive system. Don’t skip on the white wine vinegar at the end as it adds a little tanginess and balances out the flavors.
Tip: This recipe makes a lot of soup, which you can freeze up to 3 months. I label and date a gallon size freezer bag for storing, as it doesn’t take up a lot of space in my freezer.
