Easy Cabbage Soup
Presenting a simple yet hearty cabbage soup perfect for those chilly winter days. With just a handful of ingredients and a preparation time of under an hour, this soup epitomizes the essence of simplicity.
Have you ever found yourself peering into your fridge, only to discover a solitary head of cabbage staring back at you? Cabbage has a remarkable resilience, often outlasting other vegetables. Even if your fridge is sparsely stocked with just cabbage, a few additional pantry staples are all you need to whip up this effortless, nourishing, and refreshing cabbage soup.
This cabbage soup recipe achieves the extraordinary feat of utilizing an entire head of cabbage in one delicious pot. Typically, when I purchase cabbage, it lasts me for weeks as I incorporate bits into various dishes—a slaw here, a salad there, perhaps some in a taco. Therefore, the first time I attempted this cabbage soup recipe, I was taken aback. Initially adding just half of my cabbage, I watched as it wilted and seamlessly melded into the soup alongside the aromatic vegetables and herbs. Not wanting it to vanish entirely—after all, I was crafting cabbage soup—I added more. Before I knew it, every last shred of cabbage had found its way into the pot!
