I made this last night and it was wonderful. I make a "Caldo de Res" soup, its very different but also very similar, however, that soup takes 3-4 hours to cook from beginning to end. This cabbage soup only took me about an hour and the results were magnificent! I just love cabbage, I also added natures seasoning, celery, and carrots for more veggies, I also used dice tomatoes in can; other than that I followed the recipe as is. The recipe makes plenty for leftovers for a couple days, next time I'll probably cut it in half seeing as its just my husband and I and my 5 mth old son who doesn't eat yet. But one day when he can, he'll be praising you for this great recipe because I'll be making it often on those cold nights!! Thanks again.

I found this to be bland for me... I did only have 2 bouillon cubes though so maybe that was the reason,but I just kept adding seasonings until it tasted perfect, thyme, basil,sugar,garlic salt,red pepper flakes, and now it is to do for. Also when I served it I added a spoon of sourcream in the bowl as well that was a great addition.

This recipe was terribly bland. Something must to be missing. I used 8 cups of water (which included the one cup with dissolved bouillon). A flavor check after thirty minutes of cook time was disappointing. I added another three bouillon cubes, more black pepper, salt, one tablespoon each of chili powder and parsley and another teaspoon of oregano. It helped but the flavor wasn't that great. I decided to try this recipe because everything was on hand and it was super easy to make. This is not a soup I would recommend. I probably won't make it again because, honestly, it just wasn't all that special.

Yum! This soup turned out really good! I used 1 pound of turkey Italian sausage removed from the casing instead of beef. we like hot and spicy, but the 2 T of chili powder was too much. Ours must be extra hot. After tasting the soup at the end, it seemed a little flat so I added about 1/3 cup of red wine and simmered a little longer. I know I'll make this soup again making a couple of adjustments to suite us. So healthy and satisfying. Thanks so much for posting!

Nothing beats happy childhood memories. I hadn't thought of this soup for years until I spotted Carla's beautiful photos. This was a dish that was served quite often in my home when I was growing up. It is economical and delicious. I cut the recipe in half, used rinsed black beans, canned tomatoes and soup base instead of the bouillon cubes. This was perfect a windy cool evening.

Hi! I'm a mom to a four and a half year old boy and I work full time. Recently divorced...I don't have the time or money I used to have to plan and cook meals. But I still love to eat! I generally eat very healthy food, but sometimes indulge in old fashioned comfort food...as my recipe collection attests to.
