Preparation
Chef’s notes
Crockpot Cabbage Soup Instructions:
Add onion, garlic, vegetable stock, carrots, celery, potatoes, tomatoes and green chiles, roasted red peppers, beans, cabbage, cumin, and crushed red pepper flakes to the bowl of a large (6-quart) slow cooker. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the greens until combined. Then taste and season the soup with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm, garnished with toppings if desired.
Instant Pot Cabbage Soup Instructions:
Press the “Sauté” button on your Instant Pot. Add oil. Then once it is heated and shimmering, add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Stir in garlic and sauté for 1-2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Press “Cancel” to turn off the heat. Add in the vegetable stock, carrots, celery, potatoes, tomatoes and green chiles, roasted red peppers, beans, cabbage, cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, and stir to combine. Close lid securely and set vent to “Sealing”. Press “Manual”, then press “Pressure” until the light on “High Pressure” lights up, then adjust the +/- buttons until time reads 25 minutes. Cook. Then very carefully, turn the vent to “Venting” for quick release, and wait until all of the steam has released and the valve has dropped. Remove lid. Stir in the greens until combined. Then taste and season the soup with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm, garnished with toppings if desired.
