Need to make this soup? Listed here are a couple of suggestions:
- Totally different cabbages are totally different sizes. The recipe requires 1 small cabbage, about 1 pound. If you happen to don’t have a kitchen scale, attempt to weigh the cabbage on the retailer whilst you store. If you happen to’re not capable of weigh it, I like to recommend measuring the cabbage in cups—you’re aiming for 9 cups chopped. Including a bit of extra or rather less isn’t an enormous deal, however for those who add extra, you might want to extend the quantity of broth within the soup in order that it’s not too thick.
- Use fire-roasted tomatoes as an alternative of normal diced ones. They add smoky, savory depth to this straightforward soup!
- It goes properly with bread for sopping up the fragrant broth. I prefer it with common previous crusty bread, however do-it-yourself biscuits or Irish soda bread (in fact) can be welcome right here too.
