Well, perhaps you are supposed to use pre-shredded red cabbage, but I shredded my own. Is it supposed to be purple? Otherwise it tasted fine, but I would agree that it needed some seasonings like season salt or dill & oregano.

I used onion instead of celery, and it was quite good. Next time I would omit the green beans and replace them with more potatoes. I also added salt, pepper, and dill. Thyme would probably work well instead of dill, or just use seasoned salt.

I had a head of red cabbage to use up and wasn't interested in making a slaw, so this recipe fit the bill perfectly. I made a couple changes, based on what I had. I subbed frozen corn for the beans. I added some chopped onions. I used chix stock instead of water (to enhance the flavor). The soup never thickened to a chowdery consistency, but maybe b/c I used skim milk. The purple coloring was very odd, but the soup tasted very good. Some additional garnishes I used were diced scallions and grated cheddar. It was an easy recipe and I would make it again.
