Turmeric Cabbage Soup

First off, I’m obsessed with cabbage, I always have shredded cabbage in the fridge to add to various dishes. During the last snow storm I wanted to try something new so I researched various cabbage soup recipes and based on what I found I made my own version using the flavors I love most (turmeric & ginger).

This soup is so easy and so nutritious and perfect for a cold day! I always have frozen crushed ginger cubes from Trader Joe’s in my freezer, not only for this soup but I use for rice, curries and stir fries!
