This Vegetarian Cabbage Soup started out as a means for me to use up the cabbage that was leftover after I made Stuffed Cabbage.. It was so good, that I started making it on its own! It doesn’t take long to parboil sliced cabbage to begin the simple process of making this Vegetarian Cabbage Soup. You can adjust the sweet and sour flavor to your own palate by adding more or less brown sugar and lemon juice. I like to make this soup a day in advance so the flavors have a chance to develop. It’s a perfect soup for a cold Winter’s night.
