It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it.– John Burrough

This Cabbage Soup Recipe is inspired by Asian Flavors and is full of healthy veggies and nutrients. Made with your choice of ground meat (like ground beef, lamb, ground turkey, chicken) or substitute a plant-based vegan “meat”. Either way you’ll have a deep rich broth infused with ginger, garlic and sesame oil -deliciously tangy and spicy.

What I love about this recipe is how adaptable it is and quick and easy it is to come together (under 30 minutes). It also feels really healthy and nourishing.
