Cabbage Soup

Cabbage soup is one of my favorite types of soup and I love to make different variations of it like thisCabbage Soup with Smoked Sausage, Slow Cooker Spicy Cabbage Beef Soup, and Country Cabbage Soup.

Easy To Prep

The only prep work is browning the ground beef with the onion and chopping the cabbage and carrot.

Slow Simmer

It takes a good 45 minutes to completely cook down the cabbage. During this time, the flavors really have a change to marry. If too much liquid evaporates during the simmer, just add more water.

How To Serve

This soup is amazing served as is, but you can add toppings for more flavor. Sour cream, avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro are good choices.Cornbread makes a great side.

Recipe Tips

Ground turkey can be used instead of ground beef.

You can add the beans or leave them out.

You can use diced tomatoes instead of stewed tomatoes, but I think stewed tomatoes have a lot more flavor.

Is This Dish Spicy?

This soup is not spicy as is. To make it spicy, use “Hot” taco seasoning and serve with Cholulu hot sauce. You can also add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper.

Storage

Will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. Also freezes well. Can be frozen in freezer bags for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a pot or the microwave.
