CABBAGE: You can use pre chopped cabbaged to save time. I never tried this using purple cabbage but you are more than welcome to try it! Even better if you want to experiment, try a mixture of green and purple cabbage.
VEGAN BUTTER: I used vegan butter for a more Southern traditional taste but you can do this with coconut oil or even oil free with broth.
VEGAN BACON: For higher protein content, I recommend keeping the vegan bacon or using a vegan sausage but that is totally optional! Potatoes can work with this as well.
