Best 5 Country Cabbage Soup Recipes
Indulge in the comforting warmth of Country Cabbage Soup, a hearty and flavorful dish that embodies the essence of rustic cooking. This classic soup is a symphony of simple ingredients, each contributing its unique charm to create a wholesome and satisfying meal. Cabbage, the star of the show, adds a delightful crunch and a touch of sweetness, while carrots, celery, and onion form the aromatic base. Savory ham hocks or smoked sausage infuse the broth with a rich, smoky flavor, while tender potatoes and the addition of fresh herbs and spices elevate the soup to a delectable level.
This versatile recipe offers endless possibilities for customization. Craving a vegetarian delight? Simply omit the ham hocks or sausage and let the vegetables shine. Feeling adventurous? Experiment with different types of sausage or add a kick of heat with a pinch of cayenne pepper. The article features two variations of this classic soup: a traditional version cooked in a Dutch oven or slow cooker, and a modern twist prepared in an Instant Pot. Both methods yield a hearty and delicious soup that will warm your soul on a chilly day.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan. Add onion and fry until soft, about 5 minutes. Add country ham and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken stock and potatoes; make sure potatoes are completely covered by the stock. Throw in thyme sprigs and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs. Add cabbage and mix well; the liquid no longer needs to cover the cabbage-potato mix. Bring back to a boil.
- Cover and reduce heat; simmer until the thickest parts of the cabbage are softened, 5 to 10 more minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl and add slowly to the soup. Mix well and cook until soup is about the consistency of heavy cream or desired thickness; it should not be too thick. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes before serving.

COUNTRY CABBAGE SOUP RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- In a large soup pot, brown the ground beef, garlic and onion; drain. Add the tomatoes, cabbage, celery, broth, bouillon granules salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Notes: The original recipe came from a little cookbook that my friend, Nancy, found in the supermarket checkout. The basic idea sounded good and easy, but I found that it needed a few tweaks. Even after making a few changes, I think it would lend itself to more perking up. It's very good, and my husband liked it a lot, but it's a bit on the bland side. I suspect that at least one ingredient was left out of the printed recipe because there was no liquid called for other than the tiny bit in the canned tomatoes. I added some broth, the garlic, bouillon and sweetener. The celery took the longest to cook so I think I might cook it along with the ground beef and onion to speed up the cooking time. The nice thing about this soup is how quick it is to throw together. Although I marked this soup as suitable for induction, I recommend sticking with a small serving because of the tomatoes.
