Cabbage Soup with Chicken and Pork
There’s nothing like a hearty soup in middle of winter. This cabbage soup is perfect comfort food for a chilly winter night and loaded with veggies! A couple of of my other favorite primary dish soups are Stuffed Pepper Soup, Turkey Chili Taco Soup, and Beef, Tomato and Acini Di Pepe Soup. You’ll be able to see more Soup Recipes here!
My cousin Katia through together this amazing soup. Made with a couple of easy ingredients she had readily available, it filled the kitchen with the aroma of comfort food. The portions are large, making this a filling primary dish soup.
When you don’t like pork, you may add more chicken here. It’s made with chicken breast, but chicken thighs would even be great.
