Hey Dina! I am SOOO happy that this was a hit and that your leap of faith paid off! Thank you sooo much for taking the time to leave a review, I appreciate it so much! -Stephanie

Oh my goodness. Don’t change a thing on this recipe! I did the crockpot method for a family get together. Always hesitant to try a new recipe on a group. It was absolutely delicious. Definitely saving this recipe.  The perfect combination of seasonings and spices. 

I’m so happy you enjoyed it both ways Kristen! It’s fun to experiment around with this one. Thanks so much for the great review!💗

I’ve made this recipe two different ways. The first time I used Turkey Burger and my family didn’t love the ‘meat’ part of it. The next time I didn’t use any meat but added twice the amount of all veggies. Both times I LOVED IT but as mothers, we know it’s not always about us as we’d like to think. 🙂
I’ll definitely be making this again with or without meat; and maybe I’ll use the kielbasa but again, my family isn’t a huge fan of kielbasa so we’ll see

Hi Heather, totally your call! I do it this way so that the broth is extra flavorful, and I find that the kielbasa is still very juicy as it only reaches a gentle boil. I also like adding a little fond to the skillet by adding it at the beginning and deglazing it with the broth!

Although this soup was good, I think next time I will wait to add the kilbasa as I think a lot of the flavor was boiled out of it by putting it in at the beginning.

I’m so happy you and your husband enjoyed this soup Stephanie! I had to beg my husband to try this since he swore he hates everything cabbage. He ended up loving it. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!❤️

This soup is so flavorful!  My husband and I both loved it.  Another winner that I’ll be sure to make again.  Your recipes never disappoint! 

Hi Tracie! I am sooooo happy to hear that, what you just described was my precise goal when I developed the recipe, to make it delicious to incorporate cabbage into a soup and pack in that nutrition! 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, I really appreciate it! -Stephanie

I have been looking for new ways to incorporate cabbage into my diet, so I took a chance on this recipe. It was hands down the best soup I have ever made!  Very hearty with lots of delicious flavors. This will become a year round favorite in our meal rotation. Thank you!
