Cabbage soup with sprat in tomato sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, canned sprat in tomato sauce works well and saves time—just add it directly without frying. Adjust seasoning as canned fish may be saltier.
Replace sprat with diced mushrooms or white beans for protein. Use vegetable broth instead of water for deeper flavor.
Cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the vegetables.
Freeze without potatoes for best texture. Thaw overnight in the fridge and add freshly boiled potatoes when reheating.
Use 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with water or blend a portion of the soup for a creamy texture.
Serve with crusty bread, a dollop of sour cream, or a crisp green salad for balance.
Absolutely! Pre-shredded cabbage works, but avoid bagged coleslaw mixes with dressing or additives.
Double all ingredients except salt—add gradually to taste. Use a larger pot to accommodate extra volume.
