Variations to this Simple Cabbage Soup Recipe:

Feel free to replace any of the vegetables with the vegetables that you and your family prefer and enjoy.  For example, my family does not like mushrooms, so I opt to leave these out of the recipe when I make this for my family and sometimes I will add additional zucchini in place of the mushrooms.

• You can also add whole grain pasta noodles to this Simple Cabbage Soup recipe for additional fiber and texture.
• This Simple Cabbage Soup recipe is also a great freezer-friendly option, so double your batch and freeze for the nights you just can’t find time to cook.
• If you and your family want to make this soup more hearty, you could add shredded chicken or lean ground turkey or beef to increase the protein intake in the recipe per serving.

Ingredients

• White onion
• Garlic
• Shiitake mushrooms
• Carrots
• Tomato juice
• Chicken broth
• Fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• Zucchini
• Yellow squash
• Green beans
• Kidney beans
• Purple cabbage
• Italian seasoning
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Red pepper flakes

How to make this Simple Cabbage Soup Recipe:

Start by preparing all of your vegetables.  I begin by chopping my zucchini, squash, and carrots first.

Next, you will cut the head of cabbage in half, core it, and then slice into thin pieces.

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and coat it with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the onion, garlic, mushrooms, and carrots until they begin to get soft, about 5 minutes.

Next, add the tomato juice, chicken broth, tomatoes, the cooked vegetables, and the remaining vegetables to a slow cooker. Season with the Italian seasoning and salt and pepper, to taste.

Then, cook on low until vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 hours.

As an optional step, to freeze leftovers: Remove the desired portion, pour into plastic freezer bags and lay flat on a baking sheet and freeze. Once the soup is frozen flat, it is much easier to store without taking up too much room. To thaw, place the bag in the fridge for 24 hours and then reheat.
