Unwrapped Cabbage Roll Soup

I would be lying if I said that I actually enjoy eating cabbage. In fact, I make it a point to avoid coleslaw and many other things that have cabbage because I flat out hate cabbage. However, I do enjoy egg rolls, but you know, fried foods are not good for you and all so I tend to rarely eat egg rolls.

So I was wondering what I could do this year for a cabbage recipe on New Year’s Day because it’s supposed to bring luck and wealth and let’s face it – I could use both of those! So I started experimenting with recipes to create a tomato-based soup that would hide the taste of cabbage. That is what this recipe does! I love this recipe because it doesn’t taste like cabbage AT ALL. Sure, there is a lot of cabbage in it, but the tomato, sausage, and rice kind of hide all of that cabbagy taste.

Try it for yourself! If you are a non-cabbage eater but eat it only once a year for New Year’s Day – this is the perfect recipe for you!
