olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

smoked paprika

🥗Healthier: sweet paprika

💰Cheaper: regular paprika

Regular paprika provides color without the smokiness.

Start by sautéing chopped cabbage in butter along with chopped onion, celery, and thinly sliced carrots.

Cook until everything is tender, which takes about 10 minutes.

Add a can of cream style corn, frozen peas, milk, and chicken broth.

Stir in lots of off-the-shelf spices and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

Right before serving, stir in shredded cheddar cheese.
