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

Can I use red cabbage instead of green cabbage for this soup?

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.

How can I make this soup vegetarian or vegan?

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.

Can I add meat to this cabbage soup?

Absolutely! Adding diced chicken, sausage, or beef can enhance the soup's heartiness. Just brown the meat before adding the vegetables in Step 5.

How long can I store leftover cabbage soup in the fridge?

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.

Can I freeze this cabbage soup?

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.

What can I use instead of potatoes to make this soup low-carb?

For a low-carb version, replace potatoes with cauliflower florets or radishes, which provide a similar texture without the carbs.

Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh parsley?

Yes, dried parsley can be used, but reduce the quantity to 1/3 of the fresh amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.

What are some serving suggestions to pair with this soup?

This soup pairs well with crusty bread, a dollop of sour cream, or a side of grated cheese for added richness.

How can I adjust the portion size if I’m cooking for more people?

Simply double or triple the ingredients proportionally. Use a larger pot to accommodate the increased volume.

Why do I need to sauté the vegetables before adding them to the soup?

Sautéing unlocks deeper flavors by caramelizing the onions and garlic, and softens the carrots, enhancing the overall taste of the soup.
