How to cook cabbage soup with stew and fresh cabbage? To do this, you need to prepare all the ingredients. Vegetables: peel onions, carrots, potatoes and rinse in running water to remove dirt. Remove the top 2-4 leaves from the cabbage head. They wonʼt be needed. Stew can be taken from any type of meat. Iʼll use pulled pork.
