How To Make Pioneer Woman Cabbage Soup

1. Start Cooking Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, salt, pepper, and fennel seeds (if using). Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften slightly.
2. Add Cabbage and Garlic: Mix in the chopped cabbage and garlic. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes, until the cabbage softens a bit.
3. Add Liquids and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth. Add the undrained diced tomatoes and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 15 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
4. Add Beans: Stir in the rinsed white beans. Continue simmering the soup, uncovered, for another 5 minutes. Then, remove the bay leaves from the soup.
5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with some chopped parsley.

What To Serve With Cabbage Soup

Cabbage soup pairs well with crusty bread or rolls for dipping. A light, crisp salad or a side of roasted vegetables complements the soup’s hearty and healthy profile. You can also serve it with a grilled cheese sandwich for a comforting meal.

How To Store Cabbage Soup

In The Fridge:

Store cabbage soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 5 days. Ensure the soup has cooled to room temperature before storing it.

In The Freezer:

Freeze cabbage soup in a sealed container or freezer-safe bag. It can be stored frozen for up to 3 months. To prevent freezer burn, make sure to expel as much air as possible from the bag.

How To Reheat Cabbage Soup

Reheat cabbage soup on the stove over medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally. This method helps maintain the soup’s texture and flavor. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a microwave-safe container, stirring every couple of minutes, until thoroughly warmed.
