Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped (about 6 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large carrots, sliced

Liquids & Seasoning

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté gently until they become soft and translucent, releasing their fragrant aromas, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped cabbage and sliced carrots, mixing well with the sautéed onions and garlic.
  3. Pour in Broth and Simmer: Add the 4 cups of vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
  4. Cook Until Tender: Continue to simmer the soup for about 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still retain some texture, stirring occasionally.
  5. Season and Serve: Season the soup lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the warm cabbage soup into bowls and serve immediately as a light, cleansing meal.

Notes

  • Feel free to add herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables to keep some crunch and nutrients intact.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • To make it vegan and gluten free, ensure vegetable broth used is suitable.
