Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

Can I make this soup vegetarian?

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.

What’s the best way to reheat this soup without drying it out?

Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water or broth if the soup seems too thick.

Can I freeze cabbage soup with canned fish?

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.
