One more healthy recipe for you for our January goals…wink wink…I try to make this Healthy Cabbage Soup once a year and freeze it in individual containers to take for my lunch. It is packed with veggies.. I actually call it my power veggie soup, but it tastes like my moms cabbage soup. This is vegetarian, gluten free, and loaded with the good stuff. I feel good after eating a bowl (or two).
Don’t let the name deter you from trying it because it is delicious and good for you! My mom always made Cabbage Soup, but if she didn’t I probably would never try it. I promise you- you will like it. My version has a little bit of heat to it too.

How to Make this Healthy Cabbage Soup Recipe
I let it simmer for about 2 hours but of course you could make it in the Instant Pot or in the slow cooker. I received a shiny pretty new set of pots and pans for Christmas that I was excited to use, so I cooked it low and slow traditionally on the stove top.
The stock is super easy- I use one big jug of spicy vegetable juice (V8 or similar). Dice your veggies, saute the carrots/onions/celery, and then add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until veggies are tender. Reap the benefits and ENJOY!
