Cooking--Bess Feigenbaum's Cabbage Soup

Gave this a try last night.    A very rich tomato concoction--if it were a wine it would be described as a "fruit bomb."  Cabbage adds as much textures as it does taste. Or slightly more.   I did like it a lot, but next time I'd add less lemon juice and less sugar.  I added three cups of water to the final stage of cooking, but adding the full six probably wouldn't be overkill, and would stretch the soup further.
