How to Chop Cabbage For Cabbage Roll Soup
Cabbage is certainly the star of this soup. I love cabbage not just for its flavor but for all its nutritious value and many health benefits!
You can easily chop cabbage for this soup with a knife but I usually use a mandolin.
Make sure you cut the center out of the head of cabbage and just use the leaves.
