Country Cabbage Soup

I’m pretty pepped about starting my new series here on the blog! Frugal Food Fridays is designed to help you feed your family delicious meals on a budget. Be on the lookout for new recipes every Friday!

The first recipe I want to share with you is my country cabbage soup. It’s an extremely easy and economical recipe. It’s also very versatile. When it’s cold outside I want soup and I’ve learned from my mom how to make very good soup!

One of my favorite vegetables is cabbage. It’s cheap, yummy, and can be used in a variety of ways. If you have leftover cabbage, make cabbage soup! If you have a head of cabbage that you just want to turn into something yummy, make soup!

This recipe whips up quickly. I let mine simmer about an hour. Remember, the longer it simmers, the more flavorful it gets!
