Soups are a great way to incorporate veggies, you would want to avoid otherwise, in your diet.
This recipe of Cabbage soup is a great mix of many vegetables and is shockingly very tasty too. After I made it for dinner one day, Varun asked if there was some soup left for the next day!!
That convinced me that I wasn't imagining about the soup tasting really good.
So I thought that this recipe was definitely worth sharing!
