This sounds good! Thanks Paris!

This is my new favorite thing ever, Gigi! It's got all the taste of cabbage rolls with the broth to keep it low point and more filling.

You know, that what came to mind when I read over the recipe! Cabbage doesn't sit too well with me but, I'm gonna try it!

Paris, what is angel hair cabbage?

[Paris Madeleine 0]

It's shredded cabbage bagged by Dole. They call it Angel Hair Cabbage. You can shred your own too.

Is it like cole slaw shredded cabbage? Or is it a finer shred?..........

[CordyC 0]

It's a finer shred, but either will do the job.

 

This is actually close to my mom's recipe for cabbage soup, except that she doesn't use hamburger meat but uses short ribs or meaty soup bones instead. I would use a leftover piece of lean steak, which would eventually fall into the requisite (for my family) long stringy shreds of meat. I'd also add a large grated carrot.
