Cabbage soup and sweet and sour coleslaw

I had a head of cabbage in the fridge for a couple of days thinking of what I should do with it. I got some inspiration at the farmers market in some beautiful leeks I found, I made cabbage soup with half of it and made sweet and sour coleslaw with the other half.
Cabbage soup

1/2 head of cabbage
2 leaks white and green parts cleaned well and sliced
10 cloves of garlic crushed
1 turnip diced
half head of cauliflower diced
handful of cut green beans
2 carrots sliced (optional higher carb but for daughter)
3-4 tablespoons butter
5 cups of water
3 large bouillon cubes
black pepper to taste

Saute leeks, turnip, cauliflower, green beans, carrots and garlic in butter till slightly softened, not brown, then add cabbage and saute a bit more. Add water and bouillon cubes, simmer for 20 minutes. That's it! Now on to the coleslaw.

Sweet and sour coleslaw

Half a head of cabbage shredded
half a bell pepper diced
half a red pepper diced
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons of mayo
2 tablespoons truvia
2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 teaspoon of dry mustard
1-2 teaspoons of celery seeds

Mix and chill.
