Good basic recipe - I substituted a few things and it came out better. Cut down to a 1/4 tsp on the pepper flakes (too over-powering otherwise). Added chopped celery & carrots. Used red wine vinegar (apple cider would probably work too) instead of the balsamic. Used green cabbage & combined 3 cups beef stock & 3 cups chicken stock. Added some diced, left-over roast beef & used dill instead of chives as the garnish at the end - fantastic!
Great Cabbage Soup

This is a great recipe for cabbage soup. I'm not sure where the people are coming from that say it is so spicy -- it's only one teaspoon of crushed chilies in about a half gallon of soup.
Disappointed

I was just that, disappointed, when I made this soup. I found that between the overly hot red pepper and the acidic vinegar there was nothing. The flavors had no depth, and it wasn't even better the next day like any good soup should be.

If I ever considered making this recipe again, I would eliminate the crushed red pepper altogether. Had to throw the whole pot of soup away!
On the right track...

The soup was very hearty given how light it is, was a beautiful color and had lots of flavor - but the balance of flavors didn't seem quite right. As much as I love balsamic vinegar, I felt like this recipe wasn't tart enough, so I would probably substitute red wine vinegar in the future. Also, the recipe definitely has some spice, so you might want to reduce the red pepper flakes if you're cooking for people who don't like a lot of spice.
Too much Red Pepper

This receipe would have been amazing but it was just way too spicy! It calls for way too much Red Pepper Flake. The frist bit I almost had to spit out because it was too spicy. I had to keep adding more chicken stock and then adjusting the other ingredients. I'm going to try to make it again with less red pepper... it should be great then....
Delicious!

This soup has wonderful flavors. The sweet and sour blend beautifully with the hot peppers. Serve it with Sauerbraten and potatoe dumplings. My family loves it and it's very easy to make.

Very delicious and easy to make. Just be sure to have all the ingredients prepped so you don't burn the onions and garlic in the beginning. I used white cabbage instead of red, and cut back on the red pepper flakes. I was pleasantly surprised at how a little spice can make cabbage soup taste so great!

This is a very easy dish and tastes great. The only changes I made were to use 2/3 chicken and 1/3 beef stock to make it a bit heartier. Also increased the garlic to 3 cloves and reduced the oil to 2 tablespoons. 6 cups cabbage is about 1/2 a head so if you want to make a big batch just double everything!
Tasty

Simple to make, unexpectedly good. The color was a luscious purple. It would be great for a mid winter casual dinner party menu with crusty bread, steamed green beans, and meatloaf for a rustic simple dinner.
YUMM!!

This was delicious. I added some chunked red potatoes to the recipe, it gave it a little more substance. My MEAT loving hubby even loved it. It made a whole meal with wheat sour dough and a salad. I'll definitel ymake it again.
