Make Ahead
Crunchy Cabbage Soup
- Serves 8 to 12
Author Notes
Sometimes I'm lazy, Sometimes I REALLY have to watch my budget, and Sometimes I am just hungry for cabbage. No matter the amount of people I am having I always make this much soup so I can freeze it and pull it out of the freezer for any of the times you just read about! —Kathy Allen
What You'll Need
Ingredients
-
12 cups
bread cubes, (I use pumpernickel and rye but whole wheat will do)
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
2
medium yellow onions, sliced
-
12 cups
sliced cabbage, I use red and green and if I'm really feeling lazy I buy 2 bags of the type for coleslaw instead
-
2 teaspoons
black pepper

3 tablespoons
Mrs. Dash herb spices
-
2
cloves of garlic, chopped
-
4 cups
vegetable broth, no-salt added type
-
6 cups
water
-
2 cups
shredded swiss (swiss is really low in sodium)
Directions
- Place large soup pot on stovetop and heat to medium.
- Add one T olive oil over medium heat and add bread to crisp a little. Stir around and then use spoon to remove to a bowl before it burns.
- Add remaining T of oil and place all cabbage and garlic and onion in pot.
- Add veggie broth and water and cook til boiling.
- Reduce heat to medium and add spices and stir. Simmer at least 45 minutes. The longer the better.
