In reply to Jenny. No offense taken! This soup is a great base recipe to add whatever ingredients you'd like :)

What I love about this recipe is that you can add to it based on what you have in your fridge. I started with 1 pound ground beef, sautéed onion, garlic, celery, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, bay leaves, thyme, lemon pepper, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and water. Sorry I know it’s annoying when people change the recipe: just think this is a great one on its own, and a good reason to lighten your produce bin in the frig1

In reply to LINDA BOWEN. I've made this in the slow cooker. It was still very tasty, but it loses some of the texture. I love the crunchy texture so probably will continue to make it on the stove.

I love this soup! Cabbage is not my favorite veggie but in this soup it’s delicious. I use a small bag of cole slaw mix & a small bag of red cabbage because it’s a pretty color. I also use diced tomatoes with green chilies for a little extra kick.

I have left a previous comment about this soup in the past but it’s one of my favorites on your blog and I’ve made a lot of your recipes! As you stated above it’s just so adaptable and every time I make it I throw it something else- it’s kind of like a fridge clean out soup haha! I also love the brightness of lemon at the end as it balances everything out. I eat soup all year long and like to keep some in my freezer for quick meals.Yes, I eat a lot of soup! I have chronic pain issues so it takes me time to prep my veggies- sometimes I cheat and get coleslaw mix. It’s just so nourishing to have something that is not junk and tastes good! Thanks!

This soup was delicious! I’m planning to make it again tonight. The only thing I added was a bit of ham in bite-sized pieces!

In reply to LINDA BOWEN. I haven't made this in a slow cooker, but generally you would cook on high for 5 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours.
