I haven’t tried making cabbage soup per se, but I do love cabbage! My mom, grandma and aunts belonged to a Czech (or perhaps Slavic) ladies society and I think it was headquartered in PA. They used to get newsletters, etc. from them and I think they may have had some recipes in them.

I make Holubky (stuffed cabbage rolls) every Christmas Eve for dinner - not quite like my mom’s but none of them had a recipe - it was passed down, a little of this, etc. Serve it with a Kirkland Signature (Costco) spiral cut, honey-baked ham, carrots, salads, mashed potatoes, etc., etc.

I love Holusky (kinda like spaetzel with chopped cabbage in browned butter). I’ve only made it once or twice and burned my hand a bit - need to cut small pieces of the dough off a plate into boiling water.

My mom and her family used to make what they called “sick soup” - I don’t recall anything about it except that I think it had an egg in it. Mom used to say when any of the kids were sick Grandma would make it for them - seemed to help.
