Great Soup, No need for micro, add garlic and spices. outstanding, Thank You!

Fantastic. Do want to try adding some kind of protein, maybe kielbasa or cooked ground turkey. Truly believe if you can make it the day before and be patient enough to wait overnight the flavors will reward you! Added stewed tomatos instead of just diced canned as well as the garlic, black pepper and tabasco suggested by other reviewers. We had soup and grilled cheese sandwiches and it was very very satisfying. Thanks for the recipe.

Excellent! I always add a few cloves of garlic. I also skip the water since I prefer thicker soup and add additional broth as needed. Like some other reviewers, I don't bother with microwaving the veggies. My husband isn't a fan of cabbage so he doesn't really like this, but it's one of my favourites.

I made several modifications but am sure the recipe is still great as is. The vegetables were instead cooked in a bit of olive oil and butter, adding the cabbage in the last minute or two before the liquids. Also, I used "Better Than Bullion" beef base instead of vegetable broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, and some leftover grated zucchini from the Zucchini Bread IV recipe. Excellent!

my family and my friends loved it

This is good. I put mine in my crockpot and let it simmer for about six hours. I also added a pound of ground turkey to make it a meal. Next time, I will use more turkey. Everyone, even my 12 year-old, liked it.

'Easy and good. I would try serve it again.

GREAT SOUP

This is a great soup! We all loved it. I diced the veggies and added to the pot without microwaving. I served it with some homemade butterhorn rolls. I can see how this recipe can be used as a base for so many variations! Thanks for sharing it!

The perfect (but completely basic) cabbage soup recipe. I added a packet of onion soup mix, but it doesn't even need it.

Average soup. It was more work than the flavor could deliver. Microwaving the veggies and cooking for 3 1/2 hours did not get the veggies as soft as I'd like in a soup. Substituted tabasco for ketchup, as I never keep any ('cause no one uses it), and that made it a bit spicy, but good. Reheating the next day improved the flavor some, but veggies were still hard...

This was a good soup, easy to make, but a bit too tangy for me. I might try adding a bit of meat next time and perhaps omitting the tomato juice and using more chicken broth instead to make it less tangy and more savoury.

Fantastic! I added a little extra-lean beef, and it reminded me of cabbage rolls, minus the work! I changed the liquids somewhat: 5 cups beef broth plus one little can tomato paste. (No diced tomatoes, V8, vegetable or chicken broth)I highly recommend this change if you'd like to reduce the number of ingredients. It was great, I'll make it many times again!

The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. If you check out 'Cabbage Fat-Burning Soup,' 'Minestrone Soup,' and 'Kielbasa Stew' you'll see they are all pretty much variations on the same theme. So, add whatever veggies you have on hand (potato, green beans, peas, corn, zucchini etc); beans are great (I use kidney beans or black-eye peas). If you want meat, you can throw in sliced brats, kielbasa, or even cooked and crumbled bacon. Pasta also makes for a hearty soup/stew. I like to top it with a little grated Cheddar cheese, and, served with a biscuit or some buttered brown bread, it makes for a really great meal. Fantastic!

Excellent!! Left out the chicken stock-added extra veggie stock. Did not precook the veggies and they were exactly the way that I think they should be. I was worried that my husband would not be "full" after eating this meat free meal and some irish soda bread but to my suprise he really enjoyed it and was satisfied. I personally think it's one of the best cabbage soups ever! Oh I forgot that I did add a few shakes of tobasco sauce and pepper right with the other ingredients:) YUM

Excellent! Have made this several times using many variations. Occasionally, i'll add meat, salsa instead of ketchup and other veggies like green beans. Always very satisfying.
