  5. Add the chopped cabbage and stir gently until it begins to soften.
  6. Pour in the beef broth and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
  7. Let the soup simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until the cabbage is tender.

Notes

You can replace heavy cream with half and half for a lighter version. Ground turkey or chicken can also be used instead of beef. Adding diced potatoes or a sprinkle of shredded cheese makes the soup even heartier.
