Comforting Cabbage Soup with Ginger

I like all the ingredients of this soup and initially made it exactly as stated. I am someone who uses schracha and chili oil, hot salsa, diced Jalepenos, etc. When the soup was finished I thought it was way too spicy. I tempered the heat down by adding an additional cup of water and a peeled and diced sweet potato, then cooked it until the potato was tender. That made it better. if I make it again, I would reduce the listed amount of red pepper, turmeric and ginger.

I thought this sounded good and had the ingredients, so I tried it. It’s way more delicious than I expected and just what I needed after a stomachache yesterday.

I made this today, I've been sick with bronchitis and soup with ginger / turmeric would be good! This turned out really nice, I didn't make many changes... only adding fresh cilantro instead of parsley since I'm not a huge fan of parsley. I used canned tomatoes, I'm sure fresh would be even better. I'll definitely keep this in my list of soups! I love homemade vegetable soup, this is an amazing and slightly different version. It's terrific to have another option for a healthy soup.
