Cabbage & Rutabaga Soup And Other Cabbage Soup Recipes!

I didn't know until recently that I even liked cabbage soup, much less rutabagas! Now I'm a huge Cabbage and Rutabaga Soup fan! In the past month, Cabbage and Rutabaga Soup has become my number 1 favorite vegetarian soup! I love it because of the delicious and delightful taste, but I have to admit that the fact it's a low carb soup, chock full of healthy cabbage and rutabaga, endears this soup to me all the more!

Cabbage and Rutabaga Soup

What Are Rutabagas?

Have you ever had Rutabagas before?


Rutabagas



Rutabagas are a root vegetable, like carrots. Rutabagas developed as a cross between cabbage and turnips. Both the root and the leaves of the rutabaga plant can be eaten. And no matter how rutabagas may look on the outside, they are DELICIOUS on the inside!

Rutabagas are high in vitamin C, are a very good source of fiber, and also contain potassium, manganese, and thiamin. Look for them in the produce area of your regular grocery store.

Rutabagas are hard to cut!

A very sharp knife is an absolute must!

I have tried cutting a rutabaga with a regular steak knife, but the hard outer skin of a rutabaga is really tough. I've found the only way to cut a rutabaga open is with a very sharp knife, like the one pictured here.

    PS In the north of England and Scotland we call swedes turnips - scarecrows have turnips for heads. I don't know what they call 'turnips'.

    I was just going to add that we call them Swedes in the UK, and we love them, great in soups and stews. This recipe sounds great and easy to make. Blessed.

    In England Rutabagas are called swede, they are very tasty and sweet. I tried to grow some last year unfortunately they were a disaster, but I will try again this year. Your soup looks rather yummy!

    Love good old fashioned cabbage soup! The nice thing about is that you can throw in just about anything you want to the pot. Also, try a bit of mashed rutabaga mixed in with your mashed potatoes dish as well. Gives it a really good flavor!

    I never thought of putting rutabagas into my cabbage soup, but it surely sounds tasty. I love having cabbage soup as often as I can. Now, I have a whole new reason to make cabbage soup. I simply must try this new recipe. Thanks for sharing it.

    Love it. Cabbage soup is a favorite at our house too, but I've never eaten a rutabaga. Today is fresh organic produce today, and I plan to pick a few up, if they're in stock. Nicely done, too. Congrats on Veg News spotlight! Blessed.

    Looks yummy and healthy. I love soups and definitely cabbage soup, though I've never tried the rutabaga. When I looked at the picture, I thought they were turnips. Stay healthy and blessed! :)
