Whenever I am near the "Stage Deli" (sorry Vera!!) I always get S&S cabbage soup with my sandwich. Yours looks a lot heartier Lucky-the only difference is that they put some kind of meat in theirs- small pieces of brisket (maybe corned beef?) I think, but with this recipe I don't think I'd even miss it!

Can't wait to try this out!

I bet it is corned beef ................

When my ex was a Copa Girl, we were in the Stage almost every night (well, early morning) --- never knew who you'd see in there at three a.m.


The cranberries and ginger snaps make this'n special !

Yum! I gotta try this one...would have to scale it down though. My husband and kids wouldn't eat cabbage and turnips for anything :)
