Healing Cabbage Soup

Healing Cabbage Soup

Cabbage soup whenever I have a cold, but it’s equally delicious on a cold winter’s night. It’s so easy to make; add extra vegetables, leftover chicken, or rice for a more substantial meal.

How to Make Cabbage Soup

You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s a brief overview of what to expect when you make this healing cabbage soup recipe:

• Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil in a large pot.

• Add water, chicken bouillon granules, and seasonings.

• Bring to a boil, then stir in cabbage. Cook until cabbage wilts.

• Add the tomatoes and simmer.
