loaded with vegetables - cabbage soup in a bowl

The first time I had cabbage soup was when I was in college and a friend of mine introduced me to this new diet.  You can eat as much as you want … well… as long as you don’t mind all the high fiber and are able to watch the sodium.  Today I share a few tips on making a delicious and truly healthy Cabbage Soup Recipe.

Cabbage Soup Recipe Additions

For this recipe, I am showcasing today you will need the following ingredients. Be sure to make sure you are only using fresh vegetables.  I will add notes on additional herbs and vegetables you may want to consider in this post as well.   Today I am throwing in some Rotisserie Chicken that I have on hand.

Ingredients

Below you will find a simple list of ingredients used to make this soup I am featuring in today’s post.   A detailed and printable recipe is featured on this post today so scroll down for details.

INGREDIENTS
  • Olive Oil
  • Large Sweet Onion
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Red Peppers
  • Green Beans ( fresh or frozen)
  • Chili Powder
  • Pepper and Salt (to taste)
  • Garlic
  • Thyme Leaves ( or dried)
  • Chicken or Vegetable Broth (I am using Chicken because of the meat option below)

How to Make Cabbage Soup in an Instant Pot

The printable recipe card below is using a dutch oven on the stovetop.  I love using my electric pressure cooker or instant pot so here are the directions for that option.  You can find the XL Power Pressure Cooker I recommend in my Bren Haas Shop here on my website.

I have only seen this product on Amazon.

  1. Set Instant Pot to “saute” setting ( or in Electric Pressure Cooker set to ‘Chicken’ ) and saute the onion, celery, and carrot for a few minutes, then garlic for 1 minute. Set to “Off” setting.
  2. Pour in remaining ingredients except parsley and the cooked chicken if you are using that ingredient.
  3. Secure lid and set valve to sealing position.
  4. Set to “manual” mode and select 15 minutes on Instant pot or in Electric Power Pressure Cooker set to ‘Soup and Stew’ for 12 Minutes.
  5. Let pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes then you can carefully quickly release any remaining pressure. Stir in parsley and chicken at this time.  If using Chicken turn the Power back to saute as in step 1 so the chicken will heat up fast.

Pin Print Turkey Sausage Cabbage Soup Recipe Recipe by Bren HaasCourse: SoupCuisine: AmericanDifficulty: EasyServings 8 servingsPrep time 7 minutesCooking time 20-25 minutes Ingredients 1 pound of ground turkey sausage 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1/2 cup of sweet onion  (diced) 2 teaspoons of garlic (minced) 1/2 cup carrot (shredded)  1 1/2 cups of diced cabbage 1/3 cup celery (diced)  salt and pepper (optional) 12 ounce can of diced tomatoes 4-5 cups of chicken stock parsley and parmesan cheese topping Directions In a stock pot brown the ground turkey sausage.  If needed, add water to prevent from going dry while cooking. Turkey sausage should be cooked to 165*F . Once meat is cooked, move to the side to sauté onions.   Move meat aside and heat up olive oil to sauté onions.  If there is ‘grease’ in the pot just use that instead of olive oil to sauté onion.  Add celery and garlic to the saute mixing well.  Cook an additional minute before adding the remaining ingredients. Slowly pour in chicken stock.  I use 4-5 cups of water and chicken bouillon.  Cook the soup for about 10 minutes at a high boil.  Be sure to stir so the ingredients do not stick to the bottom of the pan.  Add additional water if needed.  Let soup slowly simmer for about 20 minutes or unti lthe carrots and cabbage are soft..  The soup can be left in the slow cooker on low all day and enjoyed with ready for a meal.  Garnish soup with parsley and parmesan cheese if desired.  Sourdough bread goes great with this recipe.
