"My body craves this soup whenever I have a cold, but its good anytime. Due to the garlic, however, it might be a good idea to be sure that everyone around you eats it, too!"

I made this soup for its healing benefits, but I ended up loving it so much I'd make it anytime! It truly is "healing" and not just for cold/flu season, but this could also greatly benefit those with certain digestive conditions. (Cabbage being excellent for stomach ulcers, for one thing.) I found the amount of cabbage in the original recipe to be just right and did not add extra as other reviewers did. I did however, increase the onion to a whole medium-sized onion instead of just half, and used 4 garlic cloves instead of 2. I also added a little Italian seasoning to it, a pinch of cayenne, and a little black pepper.

I found this recipe to be purfect as written. It is not supposed to be a thick soup, but a consume based one. I think there is confusion about how much cabbage to add because they do vary in size alot. Maybe trying to pin down a weight (like 1/2 of a 2 lb head) would give a little more guidance. Thanks for a great recipe!

Wow, is this a great soup! Absolutely our new favorite comfort food! I used chicken broth instead of water and also added some baby carrots and canned corn to my pot. I have made this several times now and it always turns out fabulous... is even better the next day. Eat with some crusty french bread and it's heaven! Thanks so much for the great recipe!

This is a great recipe! Thanks for sharing. I did make a few additions as others did. The great thing about this recipe is you can tailor it to your tastes without any problem. I used a whole onion. I added celery, shredded carrots as well as basil, oregano, marjoram, cayenne pepper and a few red pepper flakes. As a final touch I added some thinly sliced smoked sauasge. And as always, when I make any soup I use boxed chicken stock. It is so much more flavorful than boullion or broth and not nearly as salty. After simmering together for less than an hour it tasted like it had cooked all day. So flavorful and wonderful!!! Will definitely make again.

So yummy and easy!!!! I only gave it a 4 because once you make it your own it's a 5 star!!!! I did not use any oil, I used olive oil cooking spray to cooked 1 large onion and 1 TBS crushed garlic. Added water, all bullion, 2 stalks of celery, 20 baby carrots cut up, 1 potatoe, tom. w/ juice in can, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp italian seasoning. i thought the amount of cabbage called for was PERFECT!!! I did have to add an additional 1 1/2c of water thr. out cooking. Thank you for the great easy recipe!!! I'm guessing left overs will be wonderful tommorow after the flavors have intensified!!! Thanks for sharing!! This will rock this summer when i have those left over veggies from the garden i'm not sure what to do with!!!!! My boyfriend loved it as well which is a big plus as he's not a huge veggie guy 8 - )

I decided to try this last night since I'm fighting a cold. It was delicious! I did make a few changes though, which is why I only gave it four stars. I used 8 chicken bouillon cubes instead of 4, plus I added extra herbs & a pinch of red pepper flakes as someone suggested. I substituted 1/2 tsp. onion powder for the onion and used more garlic than called for. Since I left out the onion, I only needed 1 tsp. of olive oil to sautee the garlic. We served the soup with some French bread brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with garlic salt & Parmesan cheese then toasted. It was an excellent meal!

try 1 to 2 quarts of low sodium vegetable, chicken, or beef broth instead of the water and bullion cubes..Can also add sliced mushrooms for a little different flavor.

Even though I'm not big on soup, I enjoyed my first bowl of it tonight. I used half chicken broth & half water, because I don't like strong broth. Also used a whole onion & whole cabbage, & plain stewed tomatoes; added Italian seasoning & omitted salt. If I do it again I would use fresh plum tomatoes in place of canned, because I prefer to stay with whole foods & avoid added sugar, salt, high fructose corn syrup, etc. This is definitely a nice way to use cabbage. Will probably do this one again. I gave it a 4 because of the use of convenience ingredients which are not healthy.

we loved this soup. As others did, I changed it a bit. I used maybe 1/2-1 T of oil. I used a 48 oz can of low-fat/low sodium chicken broth and one C of water with 1 boullion cube. I add
