- Allow to boil gently until the cabbage has become tender, stirring often. It should take about 30-45 minutes for your cabbage soup to be ready. You can add the lid once your cabbage has boiled down beneath to top of the Dutch oven.The cabbage will turn a lighter color and become tender. You may need to add water to keep the cabbage covered so you will have plenty of juice for your soup.
