Stovetop Cabbage Soup
Another week, another cabbage recipe. My family loves cabbage so I have lots of cabbage recipes to share. I love how versatile cabbage is, from Polish Cabbage Rolls to Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Cabbage , to this delicious soup that’s perfect for a chilly night.
Cabbage Soup is a healthy dinner option that’s quick to throw together and will leave your family slurping up the broth (something that is definitely allowed at our dinner table!). I hope you like it just as much as I do!

How to Make Cabbage Soup
In a large soup pot sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil until it smells good and lightly browns.
Add in chicken broth, salt, pepper and basil, stir.
Add in your vegetables: cabbage, carrots and a can of diced tomatoes. No need to drain those tomatoes! Bring to a boil and then simmer for 1 hour.
Extra special tip: Make homemade diced tomatoes !

Serve the soup in bowls and add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top (optional, but highly recommended!). Enjoy!

Can I make Cabbage Soup in the Crockpot?
You sure can. Add all the ingredients to your slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours.

How long is Cabbage Soup Good For?
Cabbage Soup that is kept in the refrigerator is good for 4 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Alternatively you can also freeze leftovers. I like freezing them in single portion freezer bags for lunch meals or quick dinner options. Cabbage soup freezes well for up to 3 months.
