We've received a lot of email about Mark Peel's Cabbage Soup (Good Food 1/24/09).  A listener named Marc recently wrote wrote:

"To the carrot slices and celery heart in Mark Peel's cabbage soup recipe I added a scoop of bean sprouts (the soup mix) from Dexter Scott's "Jazzy Sprouts" (at many of the farmers markets in L.A., including Hollywood). Terrific. Also, personally I like picante so I added dried jalapeños."

SippitySup's Cabbage Soup

The Market Report has so many goodies every week.  I just love hearing about when listeners try the recipes at home.  They usually put there own spin on it.   Greg at the SippitySup blog recently wrote about Mark Peel's cabbage soup.
