Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
Absolutely! Omit the canned fish and use vegetable broth instead of water. Add extra veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms for more flavor and texture.
Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water or broth if the soup seems too thick.
Yes, but the texture of the potatoes and cabbage may soften slightly. Freeze in portions for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Try a dollop of sour cream, fresh dill, or a squeeze of lemon. Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
