Another week, another cabbage recipe. Does anyone else’s family love cabbage? I love how versatile cabbage is, from casseroles, to slow cooker meals 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! Here’s a quick video I made to show you easy it is to make!

Cabbage Soup is a relatively healthy meal mostly consisting of vegetables. Cabbage Soup is only 134 calories per serving.
What is in Cabbage Soup?
The main ingredient of cabbage soup is well… cabbage! Besides a whole head of cabbage, we use onion, garlic, carrots, diced tomatoes, chicken broth and some spices for taste. Note: If you want to make it vegetarian simply swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth – it’s that easy!
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.
What else can I add to this soup?
You can definietely make this soup more hearty with these options.
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.
