The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.57 star rating.

This was my first attempt at Cabbage anything. I, too, omitted the barley and instead of broth I used ham hocks with water to cover and added chicken boullion to taste after removing hocks, 2 diced potatoes (towards the end of cooking), salt & fresh ground pepper. The family loved it but asked that I make larger pieces of cabbage next time.

Nice tasting soup. Didn't add ham or barely, but added rice towards the end of cooking.

This soup was awesome. I added an additional clove of garlic and I substituted 4 slices of bacon for the ham. Needed to add a little more salt and it was perfect

This is very, very good. It does make a lot; enough for several people or more. The aroma is wonderful. I substituted a couple of shredded chicken tenderloins in place of the ham. This is a keeper.

Excellent. Neighbors tried it and knocked it off. I really liked the barley in it and added some potatoes as someone had suggested. Worked fine in a slow cooker.

My husband LOVES ham and cabbage (even though I generally despise them), so when he came home with a 6 lb ham and giant ball of cabbage, I figured this soup would be our best bet. We BOTH loved it. Thanks for the great recipe! Only change - used 5 cups of ham and just 5 cans of broth because it was all I could fit in that pot with everything else. I think I'll stick with those changes from now on too.

Simply outstanding. This left my old cabbage soup recipe, which my husband wouldn't eat, in the dust. (He loves this one. He even called it his new favourite soup!) Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe.

This is a WONDERFUL recipe. I cannot rate this high enough. It is a real keeper. It was even better left over. I made it exactly as the recipe said. This is a "must try"!!

Made it exactly as is. So very good. Even hubby loved it and he's not a fan of cabbage. The barley totally makes this recipe great, so don't skip it. After we'd all eaten, there wasn't much broth left, so we added more for leftovers the next day. I agree with a previous reviewer that serving it over pasta is unnecessary.

This is one of the best soups I've ever had, and may even top the Old Fashioned Potato Soup I got off of this place!! For some reason, the local grocery store didn't have barley, so instead of going on a hunt for it, I decided to do without. This is AMAZING!!! I would recommend it to anyone! As a fan of pepper, I added a bit of fresh cracked black pepper, and it seemed to work wonderfully!! Excellent!

Yummy soup! Nice use for leftovers. I added a bit more garlic and a couple dashes of tabasco. I made a half recipe but kept the ham measured at 2C's. Yum!!!

Very different from what I'm used to making. Its very filling and I personnally don't think it needs the added noodles. I only used half a head of cabbage and used a full cup of barley. Threw in in 2 bay leaves while the soup was simmering and used oregeno instead of parsley. I used low sodium chicken broth and still found the soup to be a little too salty. Next time I will use less broth and add a little more water.

This soup was delicious. I added a small amount of hot sauce to the broth to give it a bit more kick. Be prepared though, it really does clean out your system! Great for a cold winter day.

This was a tasty and healthy soup. Very easy too, just throw everything together and let it simmer away. I added two potatoes, peeled, cut in half, and thinly sliced. They broke up during the long cooking time and helped thicken the soup nicely. This made a HUGE pot of soup!

This is soooooooooooo yummy and it makes alot too, considering how much cabbage there is. I subbed some potatoes for the celery and had to add 2 more cans of chicken broth and 3 additional cans of water. I also substituted bacon for ham. It was a little salty so I will cut down on the amount of broth I used or the bacon. Delicious!

Delicious! I used one box of campbell's reduced salt and one regular chicken broth. I also added 3 cloves of minced garlic, a pinch of thyme and 3 bay leaves (remove prior to serving) for a hint of extra flavor. For those of you who felt it was salty.... try adding the ham in the last 15 mins of cooking, not only will less of the salt from the ham leach into the soup, the ham won't toughen up or become a weird pale color. Thanks for the post.
