The Original Cabbage Soup Recipe

The Original Cabbage Soup Recipe

ingredients:

• 1 Green Pepper
• 1 Large Can Diced Tomatoes
• 6 Stalks Celery
• 1 Large Onion - Chopped
• 1-2 Cubes of Bouillon (if desired)
• 1 head cabbage. A nice, big green one.
• 48 oz. of V-8 Juice (low sodium works best)
• 4 cups of water
• 1 teaspoon of olive oil (do not splurge here)
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)

Method

The first thing you’ll want to do is chop up all of your veggies into bite-size pieces. Next, saute your onion in the olive oil for a couple of minutes until the onions start to sweat. Add your celery and pepper and saute those with the onion for another 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in your water and V-8 Juice, bouillon cube, hot sauce and tomatoes.

Bring all of it to a boil and then reduce it to a simmer until your veggies are tender (about 15 minutes if you chopped your veggies into smaller pieces). Next, core your cabbage, then shred it, add it to your pot, and cook your soup for another 10 minutes. Adding the cabbage at the end of your cooking time preserves some of its nutritional value and keeps your house from smelling like a port-o-potty. Enjoy !
