That will really minimize both the sulfur and the effects of the insoluble fiber. When veggies are cooked till they're super tender, they tend to be very well-tolerated. I'd also serve this soup over white rice, or pasta, or with big slices of white bread so you get a good soluble fiber base.
I actually really prefer cabbage to lettuce because I can cook it, and then it doesn't bother me. Lettuce I'd have to eat raw, and that is just so much more difficult...
Best, Heather
