I doubled the recipe, since I wanted to use up a large cabbage from our garden. This was quite good, but I had to add a little extra brown sugar and lemon juice; also expect to "adjust the seasonings" at the end with a substantial amount of salt and pepper (unless you use regular stewed tomatoes rather than low-salt, maybe). Again, if you mess with the seasonings a bit, you end up with a delicious soup!
