Cabbage soup with dried mushrooms - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use fresh mushrooms instead of dried mushrooms?

Yes, you can substitute dried mushrooms with fresh ones. Use about 3 times the amount (by weight) of fresh mushrooms since dried mushrooms are more concentrated in flavor. Sauté them directly without pre-boiling.

How can I make this soup vegetarian or vegan?

To make it vegan, ensure the mushrooms and all other ingredients are plant-based. Skip any animal-derived additives, and use vegetable oil instead of butter if needed. The recipe is naturally vegetarian as written.

What's the best way to store leftovers, and how long will they last?

Store cooled soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if the soup thickens.

Can I freeze this cabbage soup?

Yes, this soup freezes well. Let it cool completely, then transfer to freezer-safe containers or bags. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

What can I serve with this soup for a complete meal?

This soup pairs well with crusty bread, a side salad, or a dollop of sour cream for added richness. For a heartier meal, serve with grilled cheese sandwiches.

How can I reduce the carbs in this recipe?

To lower carbs, omit the potatoes or replace them with cauliflower florets. You can also reduce the amount of carrots or skip them entirely.

Can I use a different type of oil for frying?

Absolutely! Any neutral oil like canola, sunflower, or avocado oil works well. Olive oil adds a richer flavor but has a lower smoke point, so adjust the heat accordingly.

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

Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a little water or broth if the soup seems too thick. Avoid boiling vigorously to prevent overcooking the vegetables.
