Red Cabbage Beef Broth Chicken Recipe

Cabbage Soup

Every spoonful of this Eastern European chicken cabbage soup gives you a taste of my heritage! The colors, flavors, textures and aromas sing about Croatia!

Eastern European countries are ones like Poland, Russia, Hungary, Slovak, Croatia, Romania and more. I'm happy to say that I've traveled to many of them, experienced the foods first-hand, and being Croatian myself grew up with a Mom who cooked traditional foods from the old country having learned from her mother, my grandmother.

This soup reminds me so much of Mom and how we'd eat growing up. Her cooking always was healthy and filling, and cabbage was a staple for us, especially Mom's sarma, or cabbage rolls. We kids never had hunger pains, which is a blessing. So, enjoy this soup, packed with nutrition and the wonderful memories of my growing up.

Polish Cabbage Soup Recipe

One of Ben and my favorite countries to visit is Poland. In fact, for our honeymoon, we did a three-week backpacking trip to Eastern Europe, and we loved Poland. Since then, we've been back to Poland three times. Besides loving the culture, people, traditions, and history, I fell in love with a Polish cabbage soup that I had when we were journeying to a small town, Wieliczka, outside of Warsaw to visit the salt mines.

When I'm traveling like this and I find stunning flavors and dishes, I recreate them in my head, make notes and then attempt a close resemblance in my own kitchen. That's what this Polish cabbage soup recipe is, a fond delicious memory of food from Poland.
