Easy Soup Recipe for Cabbage Soup

Meatless Monday

Lately I seem to be on a cabbage kick. Cabbage Stir Fry, Pork Cottage Roll (with cabbage), and yesterday I made cabbage soup. It was one of those soups where you walk into your kitchen, look in the cupboards, look in the fridge, and throw this and that into a pot, and hope that it is edible. Hubby asked if he could have what was left tonight with dinner. I guess he liked it.
