Nice and thick soup. It's very tasty and filling; definitely tastes more fattening than it is. I made this just as written and did add the cayenne pepper as mentioned in the intro. Loved it. Thanx!

Not going to rate this because this was just a starting point. I added carrots, more milk, chicken flavoring and cooked it in the pressure cooker. I served it with sour cream and cheddar cheese. I really liked it because it was thick, tasty and easy to cook, my husband wasn't thrilled because there was too much cabbage. I will certainly try this again as stated with the velveeta to make it cheesy. Thank you!
