Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cabbage, chopped

Herbs and Seasonings

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste

Liquids and Garnish

  • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 4 to 6 cups vegetable broth, depending on desired thickness
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add the aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and salt. Cook for an additional minute to release the flavors.
  3. Add the cabbage: Incorporate the chopped cabbage into the pot. Stir well and allow the cabbage to sweat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently so it softens evenly.
  4. Let it simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes with their juices. Bring the soup to a simmer, uncovered, and cook for 10 minutes or until all vegetables are tender to your preference.
  5. Finish and serve: Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, fresh parsley, and season to taste with cracked black pepper. Give everything a final stir and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of vegetable broth to make the soup thicker or more brothy according to your preference.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when adding the aromatics.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freezes well for up to 2 months.
  • Use fresh herbs for garnish if you prefer a brighter herbal flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or green beans for variation.
