This is a keeper. All those flavors work really well together. I can't think of a thing I'd change.

Simple and light, yet very flavorful. All of the ingredients work well together.

I made this and found it delicious. I think this is a great way to eat vegetables - and I discovered I can add bits of left over meat to make a great one dish meal.

This was so delicious! The only thing I changed was that I used turkey bacon. So Good!!!

I am not a fan of tomato chunks, so I will mash or puree' them before I put them in. I love tomato flavor, it's a texture thing.
I've started making it now! Smells great so far! Can't wait til it's done!

My moms coming up this week from NC. Havent seen her in a year. Shes 86 and all with it. Taught me so much in cooking over the years. I was looking for something that will be light and easy for her to digest. I can almost taste it by looking at the ingredients and all your comments. This is going to be great, making it exactly as written except, I too am not fond of the texture of chunky tomatos and mash or puree as Jan has suggested. Thanks all!

I made it without the bacon and a vegetable stock, a little more apple cider vinegar and it is a keeper. especially since my csa loaded me with cabbage.

I have some red cabbage that I am not quite sure what do with. I was wondering if I could used it in place of green cabbage in this recipe?

Sure you could use red cabbage instead of white cabbage. There are not rules. It may change the color slightly - just kidding, of course it will totally change the color! Sorry, I am feeling particularly funny today (well at least to myself). But yes, you can use purple cabbage. You may also want to search "cabbage" on Rouxbe (top right of any page) and there you will find a few more recipe ideas, including one for Borscht. Cheers!

This was the easiest soup I have ever made. And it was quick. The day before I spent the day in the kitchen making stock. With that already made it was a breeze to make this. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It will be a repeat appearance in my house!

Glad that you liked the soup Patti—that's the great thing about cooking, once you put in the work (ie, making the stock the day before) it all seems easy and/or quick after that. Keep up the good work!
