Cabbage soup for lunch
After I started this one, I thought I'd check google. Hmm. Cabbage soup doesn't seem to be a hot topic. Here's what I had. A very tired, half a head of cabbage. I trimmed off all the brown and limp, and chopped it up with a medium onion, and put it on the stove with home homemade chicken broth. I usually keep a lot of broth on hand, but the other day decided it looked a little pricey, so I just cooked some chicken and froze some of the broth. That's what I'm using. The recipes I looked through all used beef broth, some included potatoes and carrots. I have that. And I also have some green peppers and some tomato juice that needs to be used up. I looked through Granddaughter's Inglenook Cookbook, but that wasn't old timey enough.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpfH8yj8syw9DiAE3nD-bv9GVK4aP-wmyrQEM3yFpq-1t74_PhczYfpWWoA6JtXHtYVHw55hsBpJYHtnQ6V1MMtHQHrYdB7LqL1DuZXTmSWztHhqIjBZ8zL2UaV-wMa0-sp5ITMQ/s200/Nancy+Wenger.jpg)

I looked in More-with-less cookbook and found something called "Good Friday Vegetable Soup," which uses chicken broth, carrots, onions and cabbage, as well as green beans. I don't want to add any beans. I'd throw in some corn, but my husband hates corn. One of the recipes I googled was sort of a sweet-sour flavor using a touch of brown sugar and lemon juice, so I tossed in a little of that.
I'll let you know. . . but it sure smells good.
Update: It was fabulous with some crackers and cheddar cheese. That sweet-sour touch did it. Also I sprinkled in some bacon bits.
