Turns out most of her family enjoyed this
hearty bowl of soup.
We still make it today and for those who
don't enjoy the actual juice, they just
scoop it out like a side dish of seasoned
cabbage! Today, Weight Watchers have
added to this recipe using green beans,
sliced zucchini, celery, etc. You can also
add Italian seasonings and Sweet Italian
Sausages for a spicy version.
