Cabbage soup is one of the most nourishing, comforting dishes that are easy to prepare at the same time. Full of fresh vegetables, especially star cabbage, it is a great meal that feeds the body without losing flavour. Versatility makes it excellent for all seasons, and there's no better enjoyment in cold weather when it is hot or in warm when it is lighter. Rich with flavoursome broth and tender vegetables, cabbage soup is also full of satisfaction for a health-conscious, low-calorie meal. This cabbage soup is a wonderful recipe because of its flavour and as a healthy way to get more plant-based meals. Cabbage is so full of fibre and antioxidants; it will add just the right touch of sweetness to your broth. It will cut into the savoury flavours of your carrots, onions, and celery. Herbs and seasonings such as garlic, thyme, and bay leaves will add depth and warmth to the soup. This is the go-to soup for lunch, light dinners or even a quick snack. For richness, you could easily customise the soup by adding various vegetables, protein sources, lentils, or even coconut milk.
