Fresh cabbage soup - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, red cabbage can be used, but keep in mind it will alter the color and slightly change the flavor, making it a bit earthier and sweeter.
To make it vegetarian or vegan, simply omit any meat-based broth and use vegetable broth instead. The rest of the ingredients are already plant-based.
Absolutely! Adding diced chicken, sausage, or beef can enhance the soup's heartiness. Just brown the meat before adding the vegetables in Step 5.
Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Yes, this soup freezes well. Cool it completely, then store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
For a low-carb version, replace potatoes with cauliflower florets or radishes, which provide a similar texture without the carbs.
Yes, dried parsley can be used, but reduce the quantity to 1/3 of the fresh amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.
This soup pairs well with crusty bread, a dollop of sour cream, or a side of grated cheese for added richness.
Simply double or triple the ingredients proportionally. Use a larger pot to accommodate the increased volume.
Sautéing unlocks deeper flavors by caramelizing the onions and garlic, and softens the carrots, enhancing the overall taste of the soup.
