Visual learner? Watch me make this southern cabbage recipe from start to finish!
Hey!! I’ve updated this Southern cabbage recipe!! Here is the revised version How to cook southern-style cabbage.
(No worries I’ve also left the original recipe intact below)
Cabbage is quickly becoming one of my favorite vegetable side dishes! Especially when it’s simmered in a flavorful broth like this recipe. If you’ve struggled with cooking cabbage in the past or hated the taste, then this is the recipe you want to make!
It creates one amazing pot of down-home, Southern-style cabbage that has been known to transform plenty of cabbage haters. Nothing fancy here, just some good ol’ cabbage that’s practically begging for a hunk of homemade cornbread!
Throw-back! The original 2010 photo!
How To Make the BEST Southern Cabbage
- Simmer, don’t boil- For this cabbage recipe, we’ll simmer it gently so that it cooks slow and low. This will result in tender, yet flavorful finished results! Simmering also cuts down on the smell a bit.
- Use chicken broth. Many Southern cabbage recipes rely on a little bit of water to cook the cabbage but chicken broth is the way to go for maximum flavor. You could also use vegetable broth.
- Add some spices. Onions and garlic are always a win with Southern cabbage but adding a few simple spices like seasoning salt, smoked salt, black pepper, onion powder or garlic powder can enhance the flavor even more.
- Don’t forget the butter! Butter adds such a nice flavor and finished texture to Southern cabbage.
Here is how I cook my basic cabbage. I love this southern cabbage recipe because it creates tender, yet slightly firm cabbage that is full of flavor, even the juice left in the pot tastes good!
Did you know that you can even use cabbage to lose weight? Check out my favorite cabbage soup diet!
Want to take this cabbage to the next level? Throw in some sauteed onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and smoked meat like I did with this fried cabbage recipe!

I started using this recipe about 3 years ago. It is my go to all the time. Thank you diva!!
Good recipe, really tasty cabbage. My family love it.
I tried it out tonight and the cabbage turned out fantastic. My husband does not eat pork, with the exception of pepperoni on a pizza, so I usually fry bacon for him. So I tried your recipe, and it was delicious, and there was no pork involved. My two young children, ages 2 and 3, were enthralled by the music you played while cooking the cabbage. My babies were squealing with delight as I tried to ensure that I covered every detail. Thank you so much, Diva!!
Do I cover the pot or not
I typically cover my pot. This is the best recipe that I have ever tried for cabbage. Happy Cooking!

Whenever my husband want cabbage, this is my go to recipe. I’ve been using this recipe for 3 years and my husband and I can’t get enough of it . It’s really delicious! Thank you.
Thank you so much. I never thought to use chicken broth. I had always used water. That made a huge difference in flavor. Your grandmother knew what she was doing with this one! Taste so yummy!
Excellent recipe ❤️I place of the butter I used grapeseed oil and smoked paprika alone with her ingredients
How long total do you let it boil?
This is my go to cabbage recipe now! thanks so much!
Ciao al tutti,
This was a fantastic recipe. Grazie!
#CabbageItsWhatsForDinner
I sauté and add green pepper with onions. Also use bouillon in place of meat and am a bit more generous with garlic. Could eat 5x a week.
I love cabbage. I use an onion and real butter with salt pepper and a smoked meat of sone sort. Sonetines, i even use pastrami… oh man.
A brat in the bottom of the pot works womders too
I like to fry my cabbage like my grandma taught me. I use a bit of bacon grease to add flavor. Add in smoked sausage and onions and you’ve got something pretty tasty! I’ve also used cubed ham and apples.
My first time cooking cabbage and this recipe was super easy. I was a little heavy handed on the red pepper flakes and i wouldn’t do that again. The red pepper is enhanced with the broth. Love it! Next time I plan to add ham or bacon!
Best cabbage recipe the chicken broth in place of water is the magic I put smoked sausage in mine
Made this recipe today.. Happy New year. Had leftover ham . So good. Will definitely use this again.
I’m a 66 year old southern woman (born in Charleston, SC) who uses her mother’s cabbage recipe and I have never added water or any liquid to my cabbage; we don’t like watered-down cabbage and the cabbage makes plenty of water on its own if it’s slowly steamed. All we add is salt, pepper, and butter and it comes out perfect. “Boiled” cabbage must be what restaurants make and when you get it, it has soaked everything on your plate with cabbage water. Always disappointed when this happens.
My mom is 74 and she cooks her cabbage the same way. The only water added is any residual from her washing it.
Can I use Vegetable broth instead of chicken broth
Love, love, love this easy to make cabbage. Delish!
Just made this Southern Style Cabbage, and Loved it!
Simple and delicious. My husband hates the smell of cabbage cooking and with recipe the chicken broth helps. Thanks so much. I love it.
I could not cook good cabbage until I saw this recipe and tried it. Have made it many times and it’s always great and have sent it to others who also had good luck! Thanks for a great recipe!
Loved this! I am the only cabbage eater in my household, but I will invite them to taste this recipe . . . Thanks Sister!
Added bacon, mushrooms and green onions with the broth version it smells wonderful. I got into cabbage to cure stomach ulcers so wish me luck!
Was absolutely delicious, good job. Making it again tomorrow.
This is the best cabbage I’ve ever eaten. The only thing I added was a little bit of country ham. Delicious!
This was perfect! I added a little more salt, and some lemon pepper. Spot on! Put sliced corned beef on top, and had it with a side of Irish Soda Bread with lots of butter! Thank you for this recipe!
I am anxious to try this recipe soon.
Looking forward to a new healthy and tasty recipe.
Thank you.
This recipe is so tasty! I add in a bit of yellow mustard seeds to give it a kick. Yum!
Best cabbage I have ever made.Thamks
Can’t believe I just made this delicious tasting cabbage. Made it with country ham pieces and onions, so delicious!
I tried the “trick” with the vinegar. I wish I hadn’t… affects the taste for sure.
Cooked cabbage with little onion and bacon cooked with sauteed onion…cover and don’t cook long..simmer really for 20 minutes…Eat with potato chunks and drink the juice….Yummy and healthy…Oh season to your liking with salt and pepper. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Does this freeze well? Please and ty
Yes you can freeze. It’s just as good too we thawed and reheated!
I just made this recipe, but added 3 large potatoes cut into large chunks. I omitted the olive oil…. just added half a stick of salted butter. I also added a small piece of chopped white onion for additional flavor. It was so easy and sooooo good! My family loved it!
The chicken broth (or broth of your choice) is an absolute must. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us!! I’m so thankful for the content you provide! Happy New Year!
I make this cabbage often and for the same reason, it tastes so good. However, I’ve never found the smell offensive. To the contrary, the smell of cabbage cooking reminds me of everything I loved about the smell of my grandmother’s cooking.
Simply delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
This sounds so delicious! I think I may mix in some sauerkraut to the recipe as well. I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!
I’m going to try with pan fried bratwurst as base flavor then add broth. Thanks for the recipe sounds great
Now this is the ONLY way I’ll cook cabbage. Simple tasty
And easy
Tony Chachere’s is a quick and good add for seasoning if other choices are missing.
I used to use real chicken broth but had to catch the chickens, prepare them first, then boil the remnant carcass for the tasty broth. Problem was simple. I’d lose my chewing gum in the chicken coup and often mistakenly thought I’d found it dozens of times….
Can I use vegetable oil, if I don’t have olive oil
This is my go-to side for most chicken dishes and pork chops. Sometimes I throw the leftovers into packet ramen to give it some more substance. Great recipe all around. Thanks!
Monique Girl this is the only receipe I follow for cabbage! We love it (I add baby carrots when I want jazzy cabbage). Thank you!!
INGREDIENTS
1 head of cabbage
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon of seasoning salt (or season to taste)
Fresh black pepper
1½- 2 cups chicken broth (can also use water but chicken broth makes it taste so delish!)
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1.) Cut cabbage into quarters, removing the hard stem. Slice each quarter into 1-inch wide strips.
Step 2.) In a large pot, add butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, & cabbage.
Step 3.) Add in chicken broth and toss.
Step 4.) Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
Step 5.) Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until cabbage is tender. Do not overcook.
Great recipe. I fry and drain 1 lb of country sausage and add to mine.
Mmmmm good
Very good recipe.
What happened to the recipe? There is no ingredients listed anymore. Is the link broken? HELP! I gave my mom the last copy and she can’t find it. This is the only way that I will eat cooked cabbage. I give the recipe to EVERYONE!
Wow, that was weird! Not sure what happened to it but it’s back up now!
P
Looking for your old cabbage recipe. No meat with reasoned salt. Love it!
Looked up ‘cabbage recipes’ and up came this one. As I live in Australia, I’ve just eaten it with some roast lamb and mashed spuds -delicious. What authentic ‘Southern ‘ things should be served with it?
Cornbread is a must and if you really want to do yourself a favor try Cracklin’ Cornbread. If you put a smoked ham hock or 2 in the water and boil them for 30 minutes or so prior to adding the cabbage it really boosts the flavor of both. There is not much meat on a hock but what is there is awesome. I also add a white onion count in half then quartered.
Fried chicken chicken fried steak ect
Smothered Steak
Fried chicken or fried fish or Baked Turkey for meats. Sweet potatoes baked or candied yam method for additional veggies. Yellow or white parboil rice. Add cornbread for a truly Southern addition.
I usually make Candied yams, corn bread, and you can pair it with pretty much any meat of choice
Check out their collard green recipe, with smoked turkey leg! Mac and cheese is another Southern favorite, as well as dirty rice.
Ham, any kind of sausage, bacon or pork belly, pan fried potatos with onions. Some even cry sausage in a skillet, cook up sliced red potatos in the grease, then add and fry cabbage in the same skillet.
Sweet potato casserole, pork chops, black eyed peas and corn bread!
Enjoy!!!
I’m wondering if I’m missing something but I’m not seeing an actual recipe for the southern cabbage. I’ve made it before and thought I saw an actual recipe. Did there use to be one? Thanks!
I I love this recipe but miss the written directions. Please put them back, Not a fan of the new recipe.
This is what I do except for the butter and olive oil. I love them both I am really redneck and use bacon grease or the like. Have ypu ever had a cabbage that was either tpugh, bitter or taste flat? If so, how did you season the cabbage?
I have made this twice. It is simple and tasty!!! I use veggie broth as don’t eat chicken. Thank you for sharing
Karen
Chicken broth is not from chicken, it is from seasonings that taste like it.
Hmm…that sounds good ! Vegetable broth !
This sounds really tasty. Am making it today. Thank you for the recipe
Loved this recipe! So simple, yet so deeeelish.
I tried this and it turned out awesome.
Hi – about how long do you microwave when making a day ahead of time?
Thank you Soooo much girl!! I know how to cook cabbage now! Try adding little crush red pepper in it for a kick. I bet you will like it!
Oh my oh my!! I love this cabbage. I just started eating cooked cabbage about a half a year ago when I had to find something to eat gluten free and tried it on a buffet bar. My first time cooking it myself and definitely will not be the last. Thanks
There is a south korean dish similar using pork or chicken and spicy garlic pepper sauce (tomato based) that is excellent
If you want to eliminate that bad smell when you cook cabbage, DO NOT COVER IT, whether you boil, simmer or saute it.
I love this recipe!!
i cook my cabbage like the southern way, the only thing o d , is to cut it to slices as i don,t like hunks i steam it just enough to make it tenter but still crunchy
Would this recipe qualify for a good weight loss recipe based on ratio of fat (butter and oil) to cabbage and broth? Love this so much and could make a meal out of it, but afraid I’m fooling myself with thinking “it’s just cabbage!”
HELLO,
Made this recipe today, adding a few additional spices and sauteed onions before adding cabbage to cast iron skillet….. DELICIOUS!!! Thank for helping me make dinner tonight…. Hubby is the cook and he is getting over the flu!!!!
Making Happy Plates,
Keisha
If you’re a meatitarian, I’d like to recommend adding a lil bit of lard or bacon grease with step 2. 😉
I made this on New Years Day. I added small chunks of cooked ham to the cabbage while I cooked the cabbage with the cover in place. My husband is vegan and I also added some of his seasoned tofu to the pan while cooking. He loved it????????
Thanks! This was exactly what I was looking for! I’ve cooked cabbage before but couldn’t remember if I should use the whole cabbage or just the dark and light green leaves, ribs removed. Thanks for reminding me that I just needed to cut out the bottom core. Great recipe! Awesome with good ol’ corn bread and purple hull peas!
I was looking for cabbage recipes and came across this one. Simple, easy, and it came out perfectly. My husband and I loved it. Will definitely be using this recipe again.
This is so simple and tastes so delicious, I don’t even care about the smell! I have been tricking my husband like I can truely cook cabbage greens for years because of this recipe.
made this today and its Sooo Delish
This is a great recipe. My mother taught me to cook it like this. I cook it any time during the year. If you want good cabbage, this is it.
What is the nutrition info for this recipe
YES honey! This recipe has blessed my soul today. Mmnm all I could do is close my eyes and chew. Let the flavors marinate in my mouth and say THANK YOU JESUS! OMG! This was so good. I don’t understand. These are all the same ingredients I typically use but I guess I’ve been boiling them to death. Honey YES! These were so good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I cooked exactly as stated and added the suggested perks minus meat. Then after they reached my plate I loved on them with some moonshine hot sauce! BOOM! This is living!
Cabbage is so good for us as part of our greens.
I must say that I’ve been making it this way and my southern family loves it. I am now in charge with the cabbage along with a few other foods for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Thank you so much for sharing so many wonderful recipes and especially the cabbage. Happy eating and cooking!!
This is the perfect cabbage recipe! You have taken my cooking to a brand new level. Definitely more confident than ever in the kitchen especially with the chicken broth hit. I will forever never again use water so boring!!
Great recipe. My mom made it this way.
I had no idea cooking cabbage was so easy! I followed the directions along with the suggestions of sautéed onion and garlic. The only difference is I used vegetable broth. It smelled and tasted really good. Thank you!
I am very new in the kitchen, and I was just wondering, how many servings will one head of cabbage make?
i just used this recipe and i added bacon, onions, and peppers
Delicious, will definitely cook again.
I added smoke meat, boil the smoke meat
In the chicken broth to get the meat tender before
I added the cabbage, to that great tasting water.
absolutely fabulous recipe.
I cook collards and turnip greens using white wine ands water and that cuts odor. Should work for cabbage too. Also makes them tender.
Thanks I’m going to try this now wish me luck.
LOVe it!! Making this right now, I couldn’t get my mom on the phone to ask how to make it, so I googled it and yours is what I’m used to. Thank you!!!
Love it 5 thumbs up,im going to do this for my family gathering .thanks
I made this today. It was delicious! I veganized it. I had always just boiled cabbage too, but this way was super good! Thank you!
If you simmer some water with vanilla in it while you cook the cabbage, it helps cover the smell.
Thank you. I am reluctant to cook cabbage because it smells up the house, so thank you for that tip.
Good idea! Does it have vanilla flavor in the cabbage when you do that?
Vinegar works too
Just made this recipe for first time. First time I’ve ever cooked cabbage. Husband and I LOVE IT…enjoying it now and my husband keeps sayiing, “I love this cabbage”. Thank you for this DELICIOUS recipe.
Good stuff
Great recipe. I added 1/2 small diced onion and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. My husband loved it and he is not acabbage gan.
Thank you.
I Loved This Cabbage Recipe! The recipe was simple but it was delicious☆☆☆☆☆
Very good! Best simple and to the point recipe. Takes as good as my grandmother’s, but she usually used bacon and bacon grease. I wanted to make it healthier but still good and this was the trick. I think my grandmother made it with chicken broth sometimes too. When your recipe is as good as hers, that’s high praise from me! Thanks for sharing!
Great Recipe I added smoked pork to the pot delish..
mmmm This recipe is so good. I used Mrs. Dash because I didn’t have season salt. I will be making cabbage more often. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I used mushroom broth instead of using chicken broth- so maybe a little less flavorful but still very good! Also vegan butter:) Ive never cooked cabbage before so thank you! I love the video ha- my mom/ dad never cooked much growing up so its kind of like I’m standing along side someone learning how to cook haha!
Cut cabbage like playing tic-tac-toe, fill cracks with butter,salt,pepper,garlic salt and bacon strips. Wrap in foil. Place cabbage on oven cake pan for 3 hours. 325 degrees. Yummy
Made this tonight except had to use peanut oil because I’m out of olive oil. It was very yummy.
It was delicious the first time I tried it. The second time I added a couple of things of my own; a teaspoon of caraway seeds; a couple of cloves of garlic and a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar. It was fantastic!
LOVE this. I don’t even bother with the updated recipe because this one is perfect. It’s a hit every time!
Great and simple recipie. I love to use it as a side dish but It’s also great when you add sausage and kluski noodles in the pot and a couple dashes of maggi seasoning (My Oma’s go to recipe for when extra family members stop by) and if I have some extra I usually add the cabbage into meat sauce and rice or even spaghetti-It’s basically stuffed cabbage except the “stuffed” part. Damn good ❤️
Tried last night and it was delicious!!! I am noooo cook, lol!! Thank you!
Should The Water Cover The Cabbage?
Thank You,
Mel
Can left overs be frozen?
I don’t even remember how I was making cabbage before but that chicken stock was the secret ingredient. I tell people all the time; don’t boil your cabbage, summer it. Whenever I’m asked for a recipe, I direct people to your site.
I add some leeks and a bit of chopped ham to my Colcannon. It is the best comfort food around!
Love this recipe. It’s safe to freezer it? thank you!
This was delish! It is now part if my regular recipes. My mom loved it so it’s definitely a winner and so easy to make. Very flavorable and great tip on chicken broth; no meat needed to boost flavor. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely delicious!! Added the sautéed onions & garlic & seasoned per recipe!! The chicken broth & seasoning made Such a big difference!! Much better than mine (Water, salt, pepper, & garlic powder only, & boiled in big wedges) Much more flavorful & tender!! Gonna try adding in some of the boiled red potatos, tonight to absorb the flavor (that I Didn’t use/mash tonight, with the corned beef) for left overs tomorrow, Yum!!
Thank you sooooo much for your quick, easy and very flavorful recipes! I have been searching for a long time for a website that gives the down home taste with soul made easy. You are it – – – as in “tag you’re it! Thank you for thinking about those of us that can’t cook – lol! That would be me! lol Imagine, as reverend and as much as I pray you would think that cooking would be a gift – – – well I don’t think the Lord had that quite in mind for me – – -lol :0) Anyway, thanks for the “Divas Can Cook” – – I will be into this website always to sharpen the little cooking skills I might just have :0)
‘
Loved it! I’m a novice in the kitchen and this was my first time making cabbage. I thought it was super easy to make but yet delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
I absolutely loved this recipe! I’ve never cooked cabbage before and this was an A+ recipe. What I did was get a nice ham, put it in a pot and covered it with water and boiled it for an hour to get out the excess salt. Then instead of chicken broth, I used the ham broth. What a wonderful taste!! Raves from those who like cabbage at the table.
Was delicious I have never made cabbage before this was better than I could have expected!!!!
Yay!!! I love to hear of people trying things for the first time! So happy you enjoyed it and honored that you chose Divas Can Cook!!! Thanks so much Stefanie!
My husband havs been cooking cabbage for years but it seemed something was missing. Over joyed I found this recipe the broth makes a wonderful flavor instead of water also the oil/butter. Thanks a billion
If you stir fry your cabbage or steam it you will not get a foul odor. Try making Colcannon. It is an Irish recipe. First you make some mashed potatoes. Being lazy I usually use instant potatoes. Stir fry your cabbage in butter with a little water in the pan. Cover it and let it cook until it is tender about 30 minutes. When it is tender drain out any surplus water but you don’t have to worry about getting it all out just drain it a little. Then stir in the potatoes. If the potatoes are cold put the pot on the burner and stir til they warm up. If the potatoes are warm after mixing them in the cabbage they are ready to go.
I don’t use salt and pepper in my kitchen I let my family add them to their own taste. I liked your recipe. I’m going to try it this weekend. Thanks for posting it.
Hmmmm..,,,that sounds really good. I will try the potatoes next time.
Great east recipe! Cabbage is super cheap right now and was pretty delicious!
Simple, yet very tasty and pleased the family! Thank you Diva!
I needed a quick cabbage recipe for a St. Patrick’s day dinner and this recipe was peffect! My children even liked it. I’ll be making this again soon. Thanks for the recipe!
OMG!!!!! This was sooo simple but it was GREAT!!! And full of flavor. I will not make cabbage any other way. YUMMMMMM

Have you done any variations to this recipe? If so, can you share?!
Used vegetable broth and garlic and made a wonderful vegan version
I tried it today hope it’s good
You are so beautiful, I mean fine
If all your food is as good as this cabbage,
You can drive a man out of his mind.
Can vegetable broth be used in place of the chicken broth and if so, does it taste just as good?
yes it can! I prefer chicken broth though.
Is water ok?
Yep you can use water. I just use broth for more flavor. If you do use water I’d recommend adding in some spices.
I was the only non-cook in my family until I found your recipes. They are super easy to make, and your directions are clear. Thank you for sharing!
I am sorry to confess this , but my boyfriend thinks I can throw down because of Moniques recipes ! Especially this cabbage recipe. He is from Mississippi and always bragged about his momma’s cooking, I put these cabbage on him and now he is telling his momma I can cook cabbage better than her ! This is no joke. Making the cornbread dressing recipe as I type.
Added more seasoning salt & pepper ….but great recipe !!!!
Delicious.
Thanks
Thanks go try your recipe for cabbage Patricia
This was my first time cooking cabbage and I wanted to try this recipe and my fiance loved it!!!! Gotta try the collard greens next!!!
Loved this, was better than my grandmothers. I topped it with some Balsamic vinegar glaze. It was awesome!! Can’t wait to try another recipe..
That is the way I always cook it. exactly. love it and sometimes have just veggie dinner. This is always the beginner
Fantastic Web-site, Maintain the wonderful work. Appreciate it!.
I’m from N.C. and I use this recipe all the time. Sometimes I add green pepper and/or smoked sausage, but it’s good either way. Thought I would show Diva’s Can Cook some love since a coworker asked me for the recipe today.
Made cabbage tonight. From now on this is the recipe I will use to make cabbage. It is delicious.
Your cabbage recipe is so good. Thanks for sharing.
I put fresh sliced carrots in with spices and chicken broth, steam for 6 minutes, then add the cabbage. Ups the flavor, and you have 2 healthy vegetables.
I have always loved cabbage its so delicious to me actually its my favorite vegetable! But I followed this recipe and it came out perfect thanks!!!
I love it and am cooking cabbage now
Love these recipes and I will try some of them !
I added a few shakes of italian seasoning, one clove of garlic chopped up, and about 1/8 cup of chopped onion. I also added about 1/8 cup of a green bell pepper.
I made this recipe several times and had never cooked cabbage before. Its a hit and it tastes awesome. I did add some diced cooked bacon, and diced sauteed onion and its even better. I couldn’t get enough. It also went very well with corned beef. Awesome recipe, looking forward to trying the collard greens recipe, which I have also never cooked before.
thanks for this awesome recipe. And I hope you enjoyed The Southern steam cabbage recipe
Did u cook the Bacon and onions first or did you cook it together?
Listen…I’m not a diva…I’m a man lol. But, I am southern and I recently joined the plant based diet fam. Which put me back in the kitchen and today I wanted cabbage …I checked out your recipe made some tweeks (I.e. No butter) and man this cabbage taste so good. Thank you!
Well I’m about to try and I was wondering could I still add sausges and the cabbage still be flavorful.
Yes of course
It will be delicious, can also use smoked turkey.
I made this cabbage alongside oxtails & gravy with rice and corn muffins and I have to confess it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Let me also say that it was my first time making cabbage and oxtails. My fiance LOVED IT!! Oh and I made it the night before and put it in the fridge overnight… NO WORDS COULD DESCRIBE THAT SOUTHERN GREATNESS!!! Kudos to you!!
I’m currently making this! Sadly I don’t not have any chicken broth. But it still smell delish!!!

This is a great recipe!! I just made cabbage and noodles and used this.. Husband loves it too. 🙂 will make it again and again
So instead of the olive oil and butter I use coconut oil. I also use curry powder, a little bit of thyme and garlic powder. Sooooo good!
I have made this cabbage for the past year and I must say… Every time I make it, I have to get seconds and thirds (my guests goes for seconds and thirds as well) because it soooo good!!! I LOVE IT!!! #Yum 🙂 Thank youuuuuu!!!
Thank you! I’m a terrible cook and love cabbage so I came across your recipe and it looked easy enough. It tasted great and was fool proof. My husband never asks for seconds of anything I cook but this time he wanted MORE cabbage! Yay!
I love the cabbage recipe….whenever I cook cabbage I use this recipe..my family loves it..keep sending out those recipes you haven’t failed yet and I try them all!!!
I love your recipes. They are very precise and easy to follow. So far I have tried the cabbage, beef meat loaf, collard greens and the beef barbecue short ribs. Deliciousssss. Thank you.
I love cabbage also, but hate the smell when it’s cooking. My mom always put a slice of bread on top of the cabbage while it cooked. It cuts the smell down even more.
This is a great dish. I added chopped onions and green pepper. I also used polish kabasi and sometimes turkey sausage. My son loves it too and you are right, the chicken broth makes the difference!!! Thanks a lot.
The best cabbage ever and very simple. The only cabbage I make now. I put garlic cloves ,bell peppers and onions in it to add a little something extra 😉
The cabbage was delicious and really
like your easy instructions.
Love it!!
The first time I cooked cabbage I used this. I love this recipe. I have it booked mark. Every time I make cabbage I refer to it. My boyfriend didn’t like cabbage until I used this receive and made it for him one day. Now he’s hooked and always asks for it.
THANKS! It is always fun to watch someone else prepare it before jumping in!
I just made this for the the first time today, taking it to a church dinner tomorrow. Of course I had to sample it before refrigerating it and I must say it was delicious. Tomorrow it should taste even better!

Love this recipe! We have cabbage all the time now.
I make mine similar to this but no butter and no salt (watching the BP), fully cooked smoked ham chunks, crushed red pepper (a little goes a long way. Be careful), an onion cut up and maybe some green or yellow sweet peppers depending on what’s on hand and cook it in the pressure cooker 5 minutes from when the weight starts rocking and cool under cold water to stop the process.
That chicken broth Honeyyy yesss
Absolutely delicious! It is even better the next day after is soaks in the broth. I made this last year & keep coming back to this recipe. So glad I found it!
Thanks you
First time making cabbage and I nailed it. City girl with country roots. Just like my great grand aunt makes
Great!!
Hey Monique!
This ain’t your Grandma’s Southern Cabbage recipe! I love it! I am vegan so I used vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. Added garlic, onions and red pepper flakes. Awesome!
Your “funks up the kitchen” comment made me laugh! Thanks for the video also!
Love and Peace!
My husband loved it (the only cabbage eater in the house) but my daughter and father liked it as well and they are not cabbage eaters. Thank you so much for this quick and easy and very tasty recipe. My first time cooking cabbage and it was a success!!!
I didn’t have chicken broth on hand so I added about 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. This was so delish!
This recipe was very easy to fix for my family! It’s on the stovetop cooing right now, but it sure looks Amazing! Thank You for the simplicity..
This was sooooo simple and soooooo good. My baby-girl who never wants to eat cabbage ate it with no complaints. I added some minced garlic and chopped onions as well. Never going back to the old way.
I fry up about 4-5 slices of bacon in the pot to start off with, remove and cook the cabbage in the drippings (instead of olive oil and butter). I add a 1/2 sliced onion first and saute, then the cabbage, spices and chicken broth. Crumble the bacon and add to the pot in the last 2 minutes. That’s the real southern way of making it.
OMG. Following this recipie for family gathering to mark St Pats day. Yummy side instead of water logged fare.

Add a sweet onion for an extra low calorie flavor boost. Also, garlic makes everything a little better 😉
I found this recipe several months ago and I have not stopped making it!!! It has made me crave cabbage!! Its the BEST and easiest recipe ever!! If I am in need of any recipes, I know where to come. I have this page bookmarked and also following on facebook!! Words can not describe how good this is!!! It just amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing your recipes!!!
As a vegetarian I made it with organic vegetable broth. It was very good.
This recipe is awesome. I had two helpings. Will definitely use again. I did add apple cider vinegar and bacon but followed recipe for everything else. Awesome!
I found this recipe and I cooked it for Sunday dinner my family loved it will defiantly use this recipe from now on. It’s a hot with us!
I put a slice of bread on the lid. My Mexican nanny used to do this and it cuts down on the smell the bread absorbs the smell.
Made it today, but added garlic, patatos, and fresh kale to my mix.
I found this recipe this morning and cooked it a few minutes ago. I cooked it as listed with 1 1/2 cup broth and 1/2 cup water. It tasted and looked exactly the way I wanted it to i.e. restaurant quality and extremely easy to prepare. I will prepare this recipe again.
I have made this several times now & absolutely love it! Yummmmmmy!
This worked out so well, the chicken broth really brought the flavor out with the smoked turkey wings. Thanks Diva!!!
I made this with some changes. The head of cabbage that I had was humongous, so I only used half. Since I had them on hand, I added about two tablespoons of both cider vinegar and lemon juice. It helped cut down on the smell. I used two cups of chicken broth to cook the cabbage in. Prior to serving I discarded the excess juice by transferring the cooked cabbage with a slotted spoon. The cabbage was delicious, crisp tender, and the cooking odor was kept at minimum.
Easy, delicious recipe. And even better the next day. I will definitely be making this for Thanksgiving this year.
I’m currently cooking this , i will be back to share my thoughts ????
Me too!
don’t bother
Was craving my family’s cabbage and found a Natural Market today. I went for it and it was great. I added onions and jerk seasoning.
I added red pepper flakes…Yummmy 🙂
I tried this recipe but I added onion and bacon bits or (bacon strips). I tried both either one is yummy. With corn bread and glass of milk. Yummy Yummy.
Thanks. Was looking for something QUICK and EASY because the garden is full of cabbage right now.
I really liked your recipe. I added carrots and potato to it and it all tasted great together. Thanks again!
Followed directions to a T… This recipe was so delicious and so simple! Thanks for the video it helped a lot!
Best cabbage I have had in years (and I’m 62). But seriously, how can you not love the smell of cabbage boiling? I guess it’s like me and pork roast – love it but can’t stand the smell cooking!
Thanks for the recipe. I think the chicken broth was what did it for me.
This recipe has become a staple in my house. My husband and I just love it! Thank you for sharing!
OMG!! Being from Louisiana everyone gives you the long version of all their recipes GOSH!! My family loves Cabbage but I’ve never cooked, I used your recipe 2 days ago and my 5 year old has came in everyday since asking mom you cooking Cabbage again tonight, and I will probably be cooking Cabbage at least 3-4 times a month. We absolutely LOVE this dish,
Thanks so much I will continue to follow and if there’s a RED BEAN & RICE RECIPE please tag me in on it.
BE BLESSED
Good eating . Because using salted chicken broth, I cut back a little on the salt. I needn’t have bothered. I added bacon bits and a little garlic plus a about a t. spoon of green pepper cut up..
Because I’m an ole lady, I haven’t the strength to cut out the core of the cabbage so instead, cut around it. Where I shop {Publix} they are very helpful and will cut stuff up for you but didn’t think of it in this case.
Am thinking of sprinkling a little balsamic vinegar but it’s really delicious the way it is.
Thanks so much for posting.
Awesome recipe. I add diced onion and of course, living in the South, Splenda!
I added sauteed onions, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and onion powder. Let me say, it was so flavorful and delicious. My fiance said, “Lisa, you put your foot in this cabbage! “
I made this recipe today for dinner. I think I grabbed a mutated cabbage… it was HUGE, so it took a little longer to cook down.
However, this recipe was delicious; didn’t change a thing. I used to splash hot sauce or red pepper flakes back in the day, but I couldn’t this time. It was just too darn tasty the way it was and my oldest son loved it. My youngest, not so much…he’d rather eat Teddy Grahams and apple juice. 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Southern Cabbage was quick and easy. My husband usually like it with smoked meat but he enjoyed this dish without it. Lots of flavor. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
I have been looking for an easy but tasty way to fix cabbage for years! I tried this recipe today and I love it! I had no idea I could cook cabbage so easily, but have it taste so good. I will be buying and cooking cabbage a lot from now on. Thank you for your recipes!
I added more bacon 🙂
Just cooked this today. Was very good. Have made about 5 of your recipes and all have been a success!!!
I LOVED using this recipe for my traditional new year’s day cabbage! My family always used just water but the chicken broth makes it really good. I cut up and fried five pieces of bacon, poured it in the pot with drippings, added the olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, one can chicken broth, and Tony’s instead of season salt. Then I let it come to a boil before adding the cut up cabbage. I like mine really soft, so I do double (sometimes triple) the simmer time, but you can do no wrong with this recipe…longer or shorter it’s good no matter what!
I am 51 years old and have not eaten cabbage cooked like this since I was a little girl when my mom fixed it quite often. So this is also the first time I have ever cooked cabbage! This recipe is AMAZING! Cabbage will be on my grocery list all the time now. Not time I will add the things you suggested and some smoked sausage. Thank you so much for sharing!
Your next recipe I am trying is your creamy, crunchy and perfectly seasoned coleslaw. Can’t wait!
This recipe is very easy and delicious! I used the broth from the smoked turkey wings and ground garlic pepper, garlic, sautéed onions, and crushed red pepper! Awesome awesome awesome!!!
This is a great recipe, I added cayenne pepper and turkey bacon and a green pepper cut up with some Italian seasoning; I didn’t have fresh thyme. Thank you so much, it is my second time trying it. Super simple.
I loved it even more with the Italian seasoning, bell peppers, thyme, and cayenne pepper. I added the broth from the chicken I’d baked it was delicious. This was already a great cabbage recipe but the add ons took it to another level.
This recipe helped alot. My husband and my kids loved it! I used cream of chicken in place of chicken broth and added 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper and a few drops of lemon juice
I was looking for a way to cook cabbage that had a lot of flavor. We loved this recipe! I used more chicken broth but it was the Progresso brand Tuscany flavored broth. De-lish Dish!
This was my second time making cabbage, and this was absolutely delish!!! My family loved it!! My uncle even said he tasted better than his wife’s cabbage(lol-we still love u auntie) The chicken broth set it off!!!!! Thanks Diva’s can cook for this simple,yet stunning recipe! God Bless You!!
I loved this dish. My family loves a little kick so I added creole seasoning. It was delish!! I served the cabbage with meatloaf and mac & cheese.
I didn’t have the pepper or the seasoning salt, but this recipe is awesome! It’s full of flavor!
I didn’t have pepper or seasoning salt but this recipe was awesome! It’s full of flavor!
Just made this, used vegetable broth instead. DELICIOUS!!!
I cooked this tonight & the family LOVED it ). I added some white vinegar & voila no cabbage smell.
I added a couple of slices of lemon to reduce the smell of the cabbage while cooking.
Thank you for the recipe, it was delicious and easy to make. I added smoked turkey legs and since I didn’t have broth I used Lipton’s French Onion Dip mix. My husband loved it, said it didn’t need hot sauce at all, lol. Can’t wait to make this for my sisters.
Super easy recipe and the cabbage taste GREAT!!!!
Has anyone tried without adding the butter? Have everything but the butter right now. Thanks.
This is the best and easiest recipe. ..I love cabbage but never knew how to make it…now I do thanks to you!!! You Five stars…I was having difficulty hitting the last star from my cellphone☺
I absolutely love this recipe!! I make it all the time!! It is the best cabbage ever!! Thank you for sharing!!
I just finished making this. OMG…. Delish. I followed the recipe to the letter. I will definitely make this again.
Love it, I added the sauteed garlic, onion and red pepper, yummie, next time I want to add some neck bones…thank you…
I made this per your recipe. I went one step further. I went to the refrigerator and found leftover pot roast and some raw onion and threw them in and instead of just a cup and a half of chicken broth, I used two full 14.4 oz. cans (who wants to just use part of a can of broth?)
Wow, it was great. I made this because I love cooked cabbage but my wife doesn’t and she was gone overnight so I got to cook what I liked. It was so good I decided to save some for her and I bet she will like it too.
I haven’t tried this recipe yet but was wanting to make for church tomorrow. It works best to use a crock pot. Do you think putting it in a crockpot on high for about an hour would work also? Someone please let me know what you think. 🙂
I made cabbage in the crock pot. Just make sure the lid is tight or it will take forever to cook down.
Simmering in chicken broth instead of water is genius! This was delicious and very simple
This recipe was absolutely on point. I decided to add Garlic salt, sauteed onions and smoked ham hocks and it was delicious, especially the juice, i will be making this often…thank you
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant
for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire
out a developer to create your theme? Great work!
I just made it and added about a teaspoon of vinegar to the cabbage and amazingly left almost no cabbage odor, amazing!
Wow!! I just followed this recipe exactly – It is AWESOME!! Loads of flavor! Thank you so much for sharing this! I have never cooked cabbage before. I always thought there must be a trick to cooking and having it taste good. Very easy to follow and quick to cook!
Alls I can say is AMAZING!!!!
Yummy!!!! I love this! It was so flavorful!!! I agree the chicken broth is the key!!!
This was my first time cooking cabbage. This easy recipe reminded me of how my mom cooked it. I didn’t have enough chicken broth so I diluted it with water. It was delicious.
My kids like this recipe so much my 12 year old wants it for her birthday dinner!
All I can say is WOW!
Best cabbage I ever had!!!
This was outstanding. Thank you!
Great recipe, love it. Thank you for sharing.
I have never cooked a cabbage and I must say this is by far the best recipe.
In your directions, it says to use 2 cups of chicken broth but in the video it looks like 4 to 6 cups. I just want to know so i can make it as good as yours… Thanks! I’m going to try this on the weekend
Thanks! I actually was tired of my daughter asking for her Grandma to Fix her some Cabbage! I fixed her butt today!!! Thanks so much!!! It came out Perfect! I called My Mom in Delight! And no im not in my 40’s and married for 20+ yrs!!! LOL!!!
Hey.. had a question… How many cups of chicken broth did you use? The directions says 2 but it looked like 4-6 in the video.. Thanks!
THIS WAS ON POINT. VERY WELL SEASONED AND SIMPLE. All I did was cut up and put in pot and simmer. the chicken broth really adds a lot of flavor, so you really did only need just a teaspoon of salt. I served it on a bed of rice, and it was gone within a hour. My family loved it. I will be adding this good ole comfort food to my recipe and sunday dinner list.
This was excellent. I would like to see more of your recipes. Thank you very much
Excellent recipe. My son is picky and he even liked it. Thanks Diva!
Omg! Absolutely flawless! Thank you for helping my husband think I can cook! It was delish with Jiffy mix cornbread crumbled in it.
I makes cabbage all the time now due to this recipe. It is definitely a hit at our house. Using broth instead of plain water does wonders. I’m a novice cook, so I didn’t know that (lol).
I found your recipe online and this is GREAT!! Being a single man it comes in handy when impressing my dates! I have also subscribed to your YouTube channel!
This is very good . I put in some garlic and basil . Definitely can eat every day . has a nice buttery flavor without a lot of butter .
This is my first year cooking Thanksgiving dinner, and do to your recipes and help, it was blessed one. Thank you so much.
Tia can cook now too!
I loved this recipe! I was looking for a nice and quick, but delicious way to fix my cabbage. My mom used to make it when I was younger and I’ve been wanting it again so bad. This so hit the spot. Thanks for sharing. And John Chef, she was using a clear cutting board as you can see the edges. And as most know, of course one can add their own amount of salt if not happy with the recipes…just saying.
Just made this recipe, Amazing (I couldn’t stop going back for more!). Used the red pepper flakes, very little salt (broth has it in), pepper and a little dried parsley. To cook cabbage my mom either fried cabbage with onion or boiled in water. My family only like the fried version, but this was way better than the water and we all love it! This is now going to be our new method for boiling, thanks for the recipe!
Oh girl!!! This cabbage was so good! I was always intimidated by cabbage because it took forever to cook. My baby girls and I loved the cabbage. I just added a chicken bouillon to the water instead of chicken stock and added minced garlic with the oil, butter, salt and pepper. VOILA : )
ABSOLUTELY love this recipe! Add the smoke sausage, and a pan of cornbread, and you have a whole meal for cheap!!!
I DON’T LIKE CABBAGE …. NEVER LIKE CABBAGE PLUS IT STINKS TOO.. I made your recipe and wait.. what was I saying??? I just made it for my bf who happens to love cabbage. The only thing I added was carrots because I love when my mother did that before and I’ve added vingar a little onion powder and garlic salt this DOES NOT over power your recipe at all, instead it made it beyond perfect I couldn’t believe how much I liked it myself because I DON’T LIKE.. well I use too not like anybodys cabbage except for my mom’s and gm’s and what I’ve made is better than them both SHHHHH.. Don’t tell them I said that thank you sooo much diva 🙂 !!
This was EXCELLENT….easy and quick. I took additional
Suggestion of fresh garlic as well as red pepper flakes and onion salt…with turkey kielbasa…yum
Just made this with my 12 daughter. Trying to get her started on cooking. Your recepie is simpe and to the point. It turned out great! Thank you Diva!!!
This is by far the BEST recipe I’ve ever found! I literally ate all of the cabbage I just made, and have to go buy some more for dinner tonight 🙂
Thank you for sharing your recipe. This was very delicious and it was my first time ever making cabbage. I did tweak it a little, and added a few more seasonings and juice from some banana peppers.
I have 2 1/2 oooold cabbages to use up… slaw is out of the question, and I don’t really wanna make kraut out of them, even though that’s what I bought them for. But this recipe is perfect! I *just* made a couple quarts of chicken stock tonight and I don’t think they’ll both fit in my packed freezer. This will use one of them up, and it’s simple enough that if I get tired of it after a couple days, I can turn it into something else. Thanks!
My mom had a head of cabbage and had no idea what to do with it, so I googled a recipe and found your site. It turned out crazy good!
Thanks sooo much for sharing!
I bought cabbage for a cold slaw recipe but I changed my mind and I decided to make cooked cabbage instead, for the time every. This recipe was heplful and it is…. DA BOM! lol!
Thank Diva!
Is it possible to can this for future enjoyment?
MMMM! I added red pepper flakes, natures seasoning, accent seasoning. I also added some garlic, red pepper,and onions thats I cooked in olive oil. This was so good!
I don’t have chicken broth, will it bee just as good with beef broth?
OMG Monique! My husband loves cabbage and I normally just make cabbage the basic way: Cabbage, water, red pepper flakes, salt/pepper…all the while hoping that he likes it. This time I wanted him to love it as he had been working all day. So, I took a chance and googled “best cabbage receipe” and your website was one of the first that came up.I used your receipe exactly and also added 4 Farmer John’s Louisiana Hot Links! OMG!!!!!!!! I made the cabbage on Saturday night but my husband only had a little bit and he ranted how good it was then. But, he just sent me this message today (today is Monday) saying: “Maaaaaaan this cabbage is the step before heavens gate!…not gonna be none left……daaaaaaaamn!” That was some bomb cabbage,!. I wil always make my cabbage this way.
This is a great recipe. I changed it a bit. I browned some chopped garlic cloves in the butter and oil then added some cooked turkey breast chunks. I ate two bowls and thinking about a third! ;-}
First time making cabbage and my babies loved it!!! Yummmm so flavorful. I skipped the olive oil and used less butter it was deeelicious
OMG MONIQUE!!! I have been with my fiance for TEN years and not once… I mean not once until tonight have I gotten him to eat a vegetable!!! I was floored, I’ve been tirelessly trying to sneak veggies into his meals for the last decade and tonight he finished all of it besides what was on my plate which probably would have disappeared also if I left it to long! I’ll be on your website every night now girlfriend, thank you thank you!
I just stumbled across this receipe/your website. I have to make a ton of cabbage for church tomorrow. While I have made cabbage several timesfor my family, I must admit I am a bit nervous. Of course they think because I’m young, I don’t know how to cook. But I do cook pretty well. I’ll be sure to post my results tomorrow after church. I can’t wait to try this recipe, thanks.
Today is May 4, 2013 and I just cooked this recipe for dinner and it came out good very tasteful! My husband and I just ate it with yellow rice and fried chicken he liked it!
Delicious! Fresh and crunchy instead of soggy and greasy, love!
I just discovered your website and I can not wait to start trying out your recipes! I am on a low carb diet and there are TONS of recipes here that I can eat as is, or with only slight modifications. I am SO happy to have discovered you! Keep the recipes coming, please!!!
This recipe was simple,TASTY and low in calories……very happy indeed!! =)
Love it love it!!!
Im sooooo glad to have tracked this recipe. Cooking Sunday dinner and really needed some pointers! From the reviews, i knew i wasnt going wrong at all with the taste. Good good good. Thanks alot
Monique, you have done it again! Another great recipe!! I usually fry my cabbage but I thought I’d give yours a try. And let me tell you, I’m glad I did. This cabbage was down right good! This recipe will now become a staple in my house.
Love your recipe! I use it all the time!
I made this for my family and it was sooooo good everyone loved it…. Thanks!
I had to leave a comment to say thank you SO much for the awesome recipe. I’ve cooked cabbage for a while now but after using your recommendations I realized that I’ve been cooking mine way too long! In addition to the original recipe, I jazzed up my dish with red pepper flakes, minced garlic, lemon pepper and hickory smoked bacon bits. With an active one year old, I’m always looking for a short cut when it comes to dinner prep.
Thanks for sharing:)
Awesome! Awesome! Was looking for a simple cabbage dish and came across yours. Very tasty! Great tips! Loved the video! Have never cooked cabbage before, but, have always liked it when done just right. I added tiny baby carrots for a little something extra.
Just started cooking this. My first time making cabbage. Can’t wait to eat. With some ribs yummy! My husband coming home from working out of town. Got to have a good ole southern dinner ready for him. Thanks for the recipe
I’ve never cooked cabbage and was worried it wouldn’t come out right. I can cook some greens but didnt know about cabbage. My 14 month Lil girl loves it. I made this recipe and it is gooood!! I love the flavor! This is going in my book… Thank you
I just made this recipe a few days ago for Sunday dinner verry good!!! This was my 1st time ever making cabbage thanks my family loved it & said it was the best 🙂
5 stars
Great recipe! This was my first time making cabbage and I will def be making it more often now. I sauteed half an onion and a large clove of garlic in the oil & butter. I will probably reduce the oil by 1 tbsp next time but leave the butter cause I liked the buttery taste. Used adobo instead of seasoned salt. (they’re close to the same thing) and also added red pepper flakes and little bit of garlic powder. I wanted to eat the whole pot. Thanks for the great recipe!
I made this tonight, it was delicious!! I didn’t have the chicken broth so I just used two chicken bullion cubes and water. It was great. Thanks!!
I could not help but notice that you did not use a chopping or cutting board when you sliced the cabbage? You are ruining your knives plus scratching the counter surface!
You salted the cabbage twice… Cabbage is a high moisture vegetable and should be steamed and not boiled. Use less chicken stock and cook only until fork tender. Leave the final step of adding any extra salt to the individual eating the finished product. Cooks tend to add sugar and salt to everything.
I just made this recipe a few days ago to practice for Christmas dinner, and OMG…it’s really tasty!! And that’s saying a lot coming from a girl who’s not the best cook. I know my in-laws will be impressed. I’m gonna try your collard greens and candied yams recipes next. Thanks!!!
I just finished making this recipe and it turned out very goooooooooooood. I just love me some cabbage. Thank you for sharing.
Made this tonight and it came out great. Actually tried a few of your recipes for thanksgiving. Family loved them!!! But my all time favorite recipe on your blog is the red velvet cake and frosting. YUM
Lemme tell you, EVERYBODY was tryin’ to smack me (including my momma) after I made this cabbage. I mean, folks were mad that I only made one pot! Absolutely delish! thank you!
I made this for my best friend’s family for dinner. They are Irish and Portuguese and have certain things they all hate so cooking for them is always a challenge. This cabbage came out deliciously!!! I had to use savoy cabbage instead of regular green, but it tasted the same! I grew up on green cabbage and they grew up on savoy. I made this the day before as suggested and it was AWESOME! It was easy, inexpensive and delicious! Thank you for giving me a new veggie to enjoy with my meals! Keep them coming! 🙂
Awesome, had some fried tilapia, rice and your cabbage my kids and I THANK YOU!!!! Have to share this. Banana pudding next.
I’m a seasoned “diva can cook”, and this recipe is a keeper. Thanks, Grandma for sharing! (and you too Monique 🙂
I made the cabbage again for St Paddy’s Day. This time I used your suggested tips and also used a lil vinegar for “smell control”; about a tablespoon. I don’t know if it helped with the smell, but it sure added to the flavor. I really liked it! Thanks for the tips! Be blessed!
Great and simple recipe. I tried this last night and it was good. I threw in some smoked beef sausage too as I always like to have some meat in my cabbage.
OMG…. Thank you sssoooooo much. I was looking for an easy recipe since My spouse requested cabbage with turkey wings and rice. The video was short and to the point, very easy to follow. I used perfect pinch “salt free” garlic and herb seasoning, and I must confess…. “I picked up that phone and bragged to my mama that she might have some competition” Lol. Great recipe, Thanks Diva 😉
I love your vids, u have such great recipes:)!!! And this is a great recipe! Being as though im from the south, we put pork in our cabbage and greens, like ham, ham hocks, pig tails (yes, pig tails, lol!), or neck bones or something. Do u do yours like that sometimes??:)
Thanks for this… I’m a Southerner and have always loved it, but never attempted to cook it until now. Can’t wait to taste it, it looks fabulous and smells… well… you know how it smells…
You are my new “Friend in my Head”!!!! I just made this and it is DELISH!!!! I added some turkey bacon to the pot w/the olive oil and butter . . . OH . . .EM . . . GEE!!!! I will be HAWT this summer b/c I will be eating my veggies! Thanks so much! 🙂
This is a fantastic recipe. I cooked mine with vegetable broth instead of chicken broth (I’m a vegetarian) and it turned out great!!!
This was my very first time making cabbage and it turned out GREAT!!! Thanks!!
Thanks Diva, I made my first batch of cabbage with the turkey meatloaf, A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!! I am so proud and you should be too, keep up the great work!
My mom usually fries it w/ bacon .. But I’m trying this recipie for new years but I’m
Gonna add okra =]
Thanks for this recipe! Today was my first time ever making cabbage and it came out great!
Tried it tonight and the cabbage came out so good. I usually fry bacon but my hubby doesn’t like to eat pork except pepperoni on a pizza. So, I tried your recipe and it was flavorful and no more pork. My kids ages 2 and 3 loved the music you used while cooking the cabbage. My babies were jammin’ while I was trying to make sure I covered each step. Thanks, Diva!!
Tried this recipe and it turned out so good. I love cabbage and it was so easy to make….. Thanks now im a believer Divas Can Cook!
I love the cabbage it was so easy and it taste so much better, this is the recipe I use when i do my cabbage.
This is a great recipe. Mine turned out delish!!! Thank you….
I remember growing up my mom used to fry it too!! but she would fry it in bacon grease! (so unhealthy but oh so good) lol
Thanks Diva….just made this dish and it turn out wonderful. I added the garlic, green onions and red pepper flakes….Yummo!!
I made this for Christmas Eve so the flavors can sit overnight for Christmas and I just had to taste it. OMG this is the best yet simplest recipe for cabbage greens and they are so good!!!!!
I made this Sunday, and it was so good. The flavor was amazing the chicken broth is the ky.
Yummy! I bet fried cabbage is so good!
I do a stir-fry and then add the chicken broth. Good stuff!
I love cabbage. My mother fries it and OMG is it good.
Peace, Love and Chocolate

I wish I could meet you for a hug because you really know your business, this cabbage was so good I could not help myself. God Bless you for posting this recipe.
Thank You
