Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup #SundaySupper

Signs you know it's Spring-

You've eaten your fill of Corned Beef and Cabbage.  You can't possibly drink any more green beer.  You might have even kissed a Blarney Stone....  Now what?  If your household is anything like mine, you're probably serving reubens and trying to figure out what to do with all the leftover fresh cabbage.  Maybe I'm the only one with this problem?

Nonetheless, I've got the perfect way to use up about 1/4 head of fresh cabbage.  Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup!  It's so tasty, and it's a nice change of pace now that we're moving into spring.  Plus, it's super easy to make.  If you like apple cider vinegar, you're going to love how this tastes!  It's tangy and filled with yummy veggies. 

The prep takes less than 15 minutes, and then you only have to simmer it for about an hour and a half.  It's so easy!  I love making this the same day that I'm making my St. Patty's Day feast, and then I'll eat this soup for the next several days.  Maybe it just makes me feel better eating something healthy the week after gorging myself on cabbage and potatoes swimming in butter.....

Ingredients

• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks of celery, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 head green cabbage, chopped
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 1, 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 quarts of water
• 1 Tbsp Vegetable Base such as "Better Than Bouillon" (can use chicken base if vegetable base is unavailable)
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions
In a large pot, heat the carrots, celery, garlic, and onion over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  When the vegetables are hot, add the rest of the ingredients.  Simmer on low for one and a half hours.  Serve.  (see- I told you it was easy!)
