Following the holidays, if I’m not making Cabbage Crunch or Okonomiyaki, you’ll find a pot of this Cabbage Soup on my meal plan. The flavor and blend of chopped cabbage, mirepoix vegetables, diced tomato, vegetable broth and herbs creates a delicious, comforting, healthy, low calorie meal. A few other reasons for my love of the soup: It’s simple to prepare, is budget friendly, and extremely adaptable. It’s also easy on the digestive system…
In addition to improved digestion (high fiber), cabbage soup can boost immunity (Vitamins C & K, antioxidants), increase better heart health (anthocyanins, potassium), and reduce inflammation.
Thanks to its rich content of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and plant compounds like glucosinolates, it’s a winner when it comes to supporting gut health, liver function, and overall cellular protection,
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.
