Need to make this soup? Listed below are a couple of suggestions:
- Totally different cabbages are completely different sizes. The recipe requires 1 small cabbage, about 1 pound. Should you don’t have a kitchen scale, attempt to weigh the cabbage on the retailer when you store. Should you’re not in a position to weigh it, I like to recommend measuring the cabbage in cups—you’re aiming for 9 cups chopped. Including a little bit extra or rather less isn’t an enormous deal, however should you add extra, you could 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 easy soup!
- It goes nicely with bread for sopping up the fragrant broth. I prefer it with common outdated crusty bread, however homemade biscuits or Irish soda bread (after all) can be welcome right here too.
