I made this cabbage soup. It looks good. I made it early morning and planning on having it for lunch. After my PT at 12 to 1. Can’t wait to have it. It smells wonderful.
Omg amazing. I substituted leeks for onions and did not add hot pepper. I also added quinoa for my husband to make more of a meal out of it We both raved about how wonderful this soup is. Thank you so much for posting this recipe
How much Quinoa did you add to servings? Thanks!
This is easy, delicious, but SPICY. I made this for my family and my son could not eat it. No idea that amount of crushed red pepper would add up to that much heat. A warning of some sort would have been nice
