Cabbage Soup Recipe – Two Ways
I have 2 different ways of making Cabbage Soup, depending on what I’m in the mood for. I like variety. The two recipes are very similar, save for just one ingredient, but that one ingredient – tomatoes – makes a major difference in the type of soup you’ll end up with. (If you skip the tomatoes, be sure to note that I usually add a splash of lemon juice). With the tomatoes it is even higher in nutrition, thicker and a bit heartier. If you skip the tomatoes you’ll end up with more of a broth based soup. Both are delicious, just depends on what will hit the spot for you on any given day.
