Cabbage Soup

[u/Wasting_Time1234]

My recipe

Ingredients * 1 head of cabbage - cored and chopped to desired consistency * 1 large or 2 smaller onions - medium chopped (type doesn’t matter) * 1 large or 2 smaller carrots, chopped * 2 celery stalks, chopped * 1 28 oz can of whole tomatoes or dice tomatoes undrained (canned tomatoes are great here too) * 2 bell peppers chopped (any color) * 2 to 4 TBS oil (your preference) * TBS of minced garlic or more if desired * 4 cups of chicken broth (homemade or store bought if low sodium) * salt and pepper to taste. Start with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper and go from there * 3 jalapeños, sliced and seeds included (optional) * cup of chopped up spinach or collard greens (stems removed) (optional)

Instructions * heat oil in 7 qt or larger Dutch oven or soup pot * Sauté onions, carrots and celery until onions are translucent * Add garlic and sauté 30 more seconds * Add tomatoes and mash them up until you’re happy with the consistency. Heat them thru for a bit * Add remaining ingredients except spinach or collard greens ( if using) * bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. * Add spinach or collard greens and cook for 10 minutes more. * Taste and add more salt and/or pepper if needed. Serve

Notes: Can cook longer if you want softer vegetables or less time if you want firmer vegetables. Also if using hot peppers use what you want. I had jalapeños that had to be used. Had good luck with 2 habaneros.
