This soups is the perfect meal preparation before a busy week. My 3 year old loved it as much as I.
I have made this several times for either dinner or lunches. It’s delicious!
Hi there, looks like the ingredients list is missing!
So sorry! We had a website glitch. Should be back now and ready for you! Enjoy & thank you for bearing with us!
so delicious and simple to make! I made this with Italian turkey sausage and purple cabbage and it turned out amazing, my 14 month old especially loved it!
The recipe calls for red pepper…..bell pepper or red hot pepper?
Bell pepper.
Made this soup yesterday for meal prep. I made it exactly as directed. Had it for lunch today and it is SO GOOD! I love that a serving is a large portion too. Very filling and full of healthy goodness. This will definitely be a repeat during soup season!
I love this soup! Made it several times and it’s so good!!
I whipped up a pot of this using shredded chicken/vegetable broth instead of pork/beef broth. It will be a new staple in my kitchen. I work around a lot of food sensitivities and it is so nice to have a comforting and tasty soup in the rotation.
Does this soup freeze well!
yes!
I made this tonight using shredded Brussels sprouts instead of the cabbage. My daughter gobbled it up, which is a total win!
Will Napa cabbage be ok to substitute, or is it too fragile for soup?
Hi Jayme, I think it should be okay. Maybe try slicing it a little thicker!
Will be great!
Look like very yummy
This soup was delicious and even better the next day for lunch! I used purple cabbage since that’s what I had on hand and turned out perfect, so flavorful – tasted just like an egg roll, minus the icky fried shell! Highly recommend!
What kind of mushrooms would you use for this?
A few different kinds could work well here, ranging from a white button mushroom or crimini mushroom, to a shitaki or a portobello.
Made it for lunch this afternoon, could not have been pleased more!! Had to use olive oil (couldn’t find avocado oil) and used lime juice – Perfect – Already printed recipes for my daughters, and some group texts – Keep meals like this coming!
So glad it was a hit!
Thanks for the recipe. Can I replace avocado oil?
Sure.
