Kohlsuppe: A German Cabbage Soup Recipe
German Kohlsuppe is a fantastic and hearty soup and contains a healthy amount of autumn veggies. My favorite add-ins are green cabbage, carrots, white potatoes, leeks, and garlic. The great thing about this soup is that it will adjust to any seasonal vegetable you may have on hand or in the garden.
And can you believe with all those vegetables, this soup is kid-approved? Well, at least our kids approve it by helping themselves to seconds. It is always a good feeling when the little ankle-biters gobble up all their vitamin-packed dinner.
Cost to make this recipe.
If you purchase all the ingredients, then the cabbage soup could cost around $11 to make or $1.34 per serving size. We make it so much cheaper because I use all the vegetables from the garden, so the only thing I need to buy is the sausage and bay leaves.
