My apologies if I overlooked it, but is this soup freezable?
You can!
How would I put in lentils?
I would add cooked lentils in step 3!
HI BECKY, I JUST LOVE YOUR WEBSITE. I’VE MADE THIS SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND LOVE IT. ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS IS YOU CAN SWITCH UP THE VEGGIES, USE WHAT YOU HAVE ON HAND. TO MAKE THIS EVEN EASIER, I USED A BAG OF COLESLAW MIX INSTEAD OF CHOPPING UP A CABBAGE. I’VE ALSO ADDED BEANS (SMALL WHITE BEANS, NAVY BEANS, OR PINTO BEANS) TO ADD PROTEIN. EVERYONE LOVES IT. THANK YOU.
I’m so happy you love it!! Those are some great suggestions, I’ll have to keep them in mind!
Yup sometimes you may be out of a certain veggie etc.
so you improvise a bit, the idea of coleslaw mix is great
we bought red or purple cabbage as well as green, hoping
after slicing them in 1/8’s the freezer will be kind to them
who knows?, Also we’ve been using tomatoe and basil broth
thatcam
Delicious, thank you
You’re welcome!
I am making the cabbage soup tomorrow .
Awesome! Let me know how it goes, Sylvia. I hope you love it!
Such as a really nice dish. I like this dish because I have already tried it. Operations operate as a wide array of products when families start a lot of computers and want to share in the home.
I doubt you even follow the WW plan.
I really enjoy your site very much !
I’m a pescatarian, what would you recommend instead of beef broth?
I have made this a couple of times and really love it. I have added meat to it also and we love that also!
Awesome! It’s one of my favorites too. Thanks for saying hi :)
