Cabbage Soup with Chicken and Pork
There’s nothing like a hearty soup in middle of winter. A few of my other favorite main dish soups are Stuffed Pepper Soup, Turkey Chili Taco Soup, and Beef, Tomato and Acini Di Pepe Soup.
I spent the weekend with my cousin Katia and she put together this amazing soup. Made with a few simple ingredients she had on hand, it filled the kitchen with the aroma of comfort food.

What is considered a serving in this recipe: Cabbage Soup with Chicken and Pork?
This soup was surprisingly delicious. I used boneless pork loin roast for the pork and it was so good!
Could you use beef instead of chicken?
Made this tonight and followed the recipe for the most part. Just added yellow potatoes and celery… it came out wonderful and I know it will make me feel better to. Under the weather ????
