Notes
Storing: You can store cabbage soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-6 days. The vegetables will become softer over time so it's best consumed earlier than later.
Freezing: Add completely cooled soup to an airtight container or freezer bags for up to 4 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating and serving.
