I very nearly didn’t post this, because who’s interested in cabbage soup?!
Then I changed my mind, because it really is lovely – a proper winter warmer and fantastic if you’re not feeling too well.
I make mine with a little pre-made carrot and swede mash because I like the touch of sweetness (and the extra vitamins), but this could be left out.
