Cabbage soup with tomato paste - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute fresh tomatoes with canned diced tomatoes (about 14 oz) for convenience, though the flavor may be slightly more concentrated. Drain excess liquid before adding.
Store cooled soup in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in a microwave, adding a splash of water if needed.
Yes! The recipe is naturally vegetarian. For vegan, ensure your tomato paste is plant-based (some brands contain dairy). Add smoked paprika or umami flavors if you miss meat depth.
Swap potatoes with cauliflower florets or diced zucchini for a lower-carb version, adjusting cooking time slightly as they soften faster.
Sauté the onions until golden before adding other veggies, or stir in 1 tsp smoked paprika or a bay leaf while simmering for extra depth.
Yes! Freeze without herbs for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat, adding fresh herbs when serving.
Add cooked beans (white beans work well), shredded chicken, or browned ground turkey in Step 7 for a heartier meal.
Absolutely! Use 4-5 cups pre-shredded coleslaw mix (just cabbage or cabbage/carrot blend) for quicker prep—reduce sauté time slightly.
