Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Other Ingredients

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped carrots, celery, cabbage, and zucchini. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly with the olive oil and aromatics.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Cook Until Tender: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender but still retain some bite.
  5. Season and Serve: Lightly season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well and serve warm for a comforting and detoxifying meal.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end to keep the soup light and healthy.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Optionally, blend part of the soup for a creamier texture without adding dairy.
