Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Vary It! In place of the cabbage, add 2 cups of frozen baby lima beans. Eliminate the vegetable sauté step, and instead, combine all the ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes or until the beans are soft. Also, you can pour leftover soup in single-serving portions into freezer containers. Leave about 1 inch of space, because liquid expands as it freezes.
