With this in mind I decided to whip up a batch of cabbage soup while the lil one napped. (Who says cabbage soup is just for people on diets?!) Here we go…
Yummy Mummy Cabbage Soup
Prep Time: Approx. 30 min Cook Time: 1 hour
Makes approx. 10 servings
For this rendition, I used:
1/2 a very large green cabbage = to one whole regular cabbage, sliced thin & centre removed
3 white onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 turnip, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, sliced
10 cups water
2 vegetable bouillon cubes
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil and/ or butter
Optional: 100g bacon or ham (adds extra flavour)
Directions:
Start by warming some olive oil and/ or butter in large pot. Add diced onion & garlic.
Cook until onion is translucent; add 1 cup water, followed by turnip, carrots & celery
Once carrots & celery have softened, add bouillon cubes, remaining water & cabbage
Add salt & pepper to taste
Bring to a boil for 5- 10 minutes; cover & reduce heat for approx. 45 minutes to an hour
I let mine stand & cool on the stovetop for a while before transferring. With this batch I put some aside to eat right away, and portioned out the rest to freeze. This way, when the hubby has to work in the cold Fall & Winter weather, I can pull a bag to thaw overnight & send with him in a thermos.
I love when I get the chance to plan ahead!!! Any way to make life a little easier when you get the chance is a golden opportunity.
I hope you enjoy 🙂
