I came up with this in a pinch with what I already have in the house. It is easy and can be adjusted to any taste preference. I keep a lot of dehyderated products on board and I like TONES brand the best when using dehydrated, but you can use fresh equivelants (I do when I have them). I also like a lot of garlic and salt because I have an altered taste situation, so I will not be offended to any adjustment comments. :) It's great for the cold nights and even better the next day.

How To Make winter comfort soup

Step 1

In a 6qt pot add first 10 ingredients and stir well.

Step 2

Cover and bring to a boil. Watch the pot as it may want to boil over. If this is the case, crack the lid and turn down the heat a skoash.
Step 3

Simmer soup at medium heat about half and hour, or until cabbage becomes somewhat translucent.
Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, sea salt and the frozen pasta vegetable blend. IF you are using the non-blend option, add the frozen peas and carrots only. DO NOT ADD THE PREPARED PASTA AT THIS TIME. Bring to a boil
Step 5

(Add water to the pot at this time to make up for any loss)Boil uncovered about 10 minutes, or until the peas/carrots are done.
Step 6

Add pasta and enjoy. You may wish to add the pasta to served bowls to keep it from over cooking.
