Cabbage Soup

You've gotta love a recipe for cabbage soup that adds a dash of Tabasco Sauce! I had to make a stop at the store this morning, anyway, so I got a small head of cabbage to make this soup. Also bought a heating pad-to warm up the sheets before we climb into bed...comfort...lots of comfort is what you need in January. I hope you have a good day!

Cabbage Soup
(Victoria Garbarino)

1 small cabbage, shredded
1 C chopped celery
1 C chopped onion
1 TBSP lemon juice
4 C finely-chopped tomatoes
4 C water
Dash of hot sauce, optional
4 beef or chicken bouillon cubes
Salt and pepper to taste
12 oz. club soda

Place 1 C water in the bottom of a large pot. Add cabbage, celery and onion; cook until tender (about 5 min.). Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 1 hour. Divide evenly. Each serving provides 3 1/4 vegetable exchange, 5 calories optional exchange.

  1. I'm Polish so I love love love cabbage. I've never made cabbage soup, though...and club soda? Huh. I usually made stuffed cabbage or a standard "bigos" which is called hunter's strew in English I think. I need to blog about it :)
