While grocery shopping the other day, cabbage caught my attention and I decided it was time to make some cabbage soup. It has been dropping fast in temperature here in Austin the last week or so and I have been feeling a little constipated! Perfect solution, cabbage is not only good for digestion given that it has soluble and insoluble fiber it is full of essential minerals and vitamins. The best part is that you probably have all or most of the ingredients on hand. You may have a favorite recipe you can use if not you may want to try this one that I found on Allrecipes website. It is very simple and easy to make. I made a few substitutions based on my preferences and what I had on hand.
Ingredients:
original recipe or substitution
3 Tbls. olive oil coconut oil
1/2 onion chopped
