Tasty Cabbage Soup Recipe

My mother loves cabbage. Me, not so much. I don’t hate it, but if I have the option of another vegetable I’m taking it. However, for cabbage lovers who are looking to eat their cabbage in a different way, this cabbage soup recipe is for you. It’s very simple to make and you can adjust the amount of the ingredients you use to make as much or as little as you’d like.

This recipe is also good for those of you who are doing or thinking about trying the Cabbage Soup Diet. I’m not a big fan of extremely restrictive diets, but if you have an event you’re trying to lose weight for, using one temporarily isn’t the worst thing you can do. Just remember it’s a temporary fix, not something that should be used for long-term weight loss.

Enough about dieting, the recipe itself it simple and surprisingly tasty and while it takes a while to cook, if you make enough you can have a few days worth of lunch or dinner ready to go. Don’t hold onto cabbage too long however, it isn’t a food that holds for a long time. Enjoy, and if you cook it, let me know what you think in the comments below.
