Treat your ingredients with care...
- Cabbage — Make sure to shred the cabbage finely to ensure it cooks evenly and blends well with the other ingredients.
- Tomatoes — Use ripe and juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If fresh tomatoes are not available, you can substitute with canned diced tomatoes.
- Potatoes — Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamy texture in the soup.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the soup.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup before serving.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to customize the soup to your liking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for future enjoyment.
- Serve the soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
Serving advice

Presentation advice
Serve the lahana çorbası in individual bowls, making sure to ladle a generous amount of vegetables and broth into each serving. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for an added touch of color.
