Vegetable Cabbage Soup
This hearty soup is infinitely adaptable. Don’t love white beans? Add chickpeas instead! Not into celery? Leeks will fit in too. Use my recipe as a basis to learn more, try new things and create your own culinary wonders. Also, these kinds of recipes are great for fridge-clearing of any food that needs using up. I hate waste and I love using recipes like this as a way to create a zero-waste kitchen.
