Why This Recipe Is So Easy To Love
This soup is a vibrant mix of bold flavors with a perfect balance of heat and tanginess. It’s packed with nutritious vegetables, making it both comforting and healthy. Plus, it’s easy to prepare and warms you up on chilly days.
Directions
Lightly heat some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the cabbage and onion, then cover the pot. Let them cook, stirring every now and then so nothing sticks or burns, until the onions turn translucent and the cabbage feels soft—this should take about 35 minutes. Next, pour in the water and add the tomato soup, potatoes, garlic, beef bouillon, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir, cover the pot again, and let it simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, which usually takes around 25 minutes. Once everything is cooked through, give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
