Cabbage Soup with Meat

Using savoy cabbage, potatoes, carrots and onions along with a few other key ingredients, to make a delicious and satisfying cabbage soup. If you prefer to keep this as a vegetarian soup then skip the addition of the meat. Otherwise, there are plenty of meat options to add, such as pork, beef and chicken or turkey.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover meat especially after the holidays. You could use leftover ham, leftover turkey or chicken, smoked bacon, or italian sausage just to name a few options.

Can You Freeze Cabbage Soup?

Serve immediately when ready or prepare in advance for the next day. This soup as with most other soups will be even more flavorful as a leftover meal idea.

If you have enough leftover, this soup can definitely be stored in the freezer in an air tight container for later use.
