The Best Cabbage Soup Recipe

This cabbage soup is packed with vibrant vegetables and flavors and blends comfort and nutrition to make a wholesome meal.

Cabbage soup is so classic. It doesn’t get as much attention as tomato soup or chicken noodle, but that’s because it doesn’t translate well to a can. For SHAME, cabbage soup!

I think it also comes down to people’s impressions of cabbage. People may think it’s stinky and boring but just you try it in THIS soup. It is delicious and healthy and comforting and all those things you want from a soup, no matter the season.

It features a combination of cabbage, aromatic vegetables, and savory broth to create a harmonious base that you can customize to suit your taste buds. So hit up the nearest produce section and get ready to make this cabbage soup!

Serving Suggestions

I’ve mentioned crusty bread already. Now, here are some other options:

Keto Almond-Flour Bread: If you have gone keto, crusty bread isn’t going to be an option. Here, then, is a recipe that should satiate your bread craving by using almond flour.

Brie Grilled Cheese: This is a “classier” version of the grilled cheese sandwiches you would eat along with your alphabet soup as a kid. The recipe calls for apple, so perhaps save that for last and use it as a palette cleanser.

Whole30 Meatballs: Whole30-friendly meatballs (they don’t use breadcrumbs) to go with the cabbage soup for those who want some meat with their soup. (You could even break apart the meatballs and add it to the soup.)
