Summary

This veggie-loaded, high-fiber soup is more satisfying than traditional cabbage soup because of the addition of beans and turkey sausage. It also freezes well, so freeze half and use it during a busy week when you don’t have much time to cook.

    I love this recipe--it's one of my favorite recipes to make it at home and my husband and I always look forward to "soup day." I do make a few adjustments though: 2 cans of beans (we've used pinto, black, and great northern and all seem to work) 1/2 tsp thyme 1/2 tsp rosemary 1-2 bay leaves 3 carrots 3 celery sticks It turns out perfect every time. Such a comforting meal!

    This is not a review but kept for my benefit for changes I made. I made this a smaller batch with half the ingredients, except for the tomatoes as I did have a can of those on hand. I used pepper, oregano, and Dr Graeger's spice blend from his website

    Does this really use 9 cans of beans?

    This soup was delicious! I really loved it. But I like cabbage a lot. I added more veggies and packed the soup and it was great.
