Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow or white onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 8 cups water

  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 cups chopped green cabbage

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of water in a soup pot over medium-high heat. When the water starts to sputter, add the onion and cook while stirring for 3 to 5 minutes, adding a little extra water as needed.
