This soup is amazing. We have a friend who made this for us and it was so tasty I had to get the recipe from him. If you are like me, soups are a big part of your fall/winter menu. Sorry for the no photos but I just couldn’t wait to share with you this recipe and I didn’t take photos when we had it but will the next time for sure.
Until then try the soup and let me know how it turned out. I never thought I would like cabbage soup (which on a side note always makes me think of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory) but I was never more happy to be wrong.

Recipe Notes
Cooking times are guessed because I didn't actually time when it was made.
The process is lengthy in preparation and ingredient list is long but it's so tasty, you'll forget all about that with the first bite.

This sounds delicious!
I love regular cabbage soup, but this Asian-inspired recipe sounds even better!
Sounds great!
Sounds so good, cant wait to try the recipe.
I have recently grown to love cabbage, and this is something I would make and eat all week long! What a healthy dish and good for weight loss, too!
Mmmmm. This sounds soooo good! I’ll be anxious to try it.
I’m often looking for ways to use cabbage, including napa, and this is great – and fast!
