This is pretty close to what my mom used to make. I've always thought of it as healthy and filling. There is no meat and very little fat in this recipe. I created this recipe on a cold and rainy winter day on which it definitely hit the spot.

MOM'S CABBAGE SOUP
On rainy days, I often want comfort food-something to warm my belly and my soul! This very easy cabbage soup recipe is something my mother would make for me on days just like this. Her version has a ham hock, but you can use kielbasa instead, or go no-meat, the way I did.

Steps:
- For the soup: Heat the olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent (not browned), about 8 minutes. Add salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to your desired preference. Then stir in the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring the entire mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, stir in the cabbage and beans and keep it simmering, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Add more stock or water if you prefer more liquid and taste and season with more salt and pepper, if necessary. When finished, sprinkle over and stir in the parsley for color and flavor.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crostini or garlic bread, if desired.
- For the crostini: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil. You can also smear minced garlic over the top, if desired.
- Bake until crunchy and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Take the crostini out of the oven, drizzle the tops with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over the top.
MOM'S VEGETABLE SOUP
Feel free to "tweek" as you wish. Add pasta or other ingredients. I've added chopped cabbage and it came out pretty good! Mac or rice is another good addition- just be sure not to add too much. Try adding different Mrs. Dash seasonings. My favorites are Table Blend and Garlic and Herb. Don't forget, when you do...

Steps:
- 1. Place meat in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. If using stew beef, brown meat first in a small amount of cooking oil. Add enough water to cover meat by at least 2 inches. Add seasonings. Cover and bring to boil; lower heat to medium low. Cook stew beef and neck bones approximately ½ - 1 hour (meat should be just fork tender); ox tails will need to be cooked a whole lot longer, approximately 2-3 hours until tender; add water as necessary.
- 2. Stir in tomato paste until dissolved. Add all other ingredients. Cover and return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook another ½ hour or until all vegetables are done.
- 3. Add more seasoning to your taste if needed.

Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables are more flavorful and nutritious than frozen or canned vegetables. If you can, buy your vegetables from a local farmer's market or grow your own.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables lose their flavor and nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more different vegetables you use, the more flavorful your soup will be. Try to use a combination of root vegetables, leafy greens, and cruciferous vegetables.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can really boost the flavor of your soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, garlic, and onion.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make vegetable soup. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors until you find a recipe that you love.
