Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 yellow onion
- 4 carrots
- 4 ribs celery
- 1 green bell pepper
- 6 cups chopped cabbage (½ head)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- 1/2 lb. frozen green beans
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/2 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Step: Mince your garlic cloves, dice the onion, peel and slice the carrots, slice the celery, dice the bell pepper, and chop the cabbage into 1-inch pieces.
- Step: Add the prepared garlic, onion, carrots, celery, bell pepper, and olive oil to a pot with over medium heat. Sauté until the onions soften.
- Step: Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato sauce, frozen green beans, chopped parsley, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, and pepper. Continue to stir and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
- Step: Add the cabbage to the pot along with the vegetable broth and stir to combine.
- Step: Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and allow the soup to come to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 40 minutes or until the cabbage is to your desired tenderness.
- Step: Once the cabbage is tender, season the soup with salt, starting with ½ tsp and adding more to your liking. Finish the soup by adding the lemon juice and stirring to combine. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
Notes
I use petite diced tomatoes, but regular canned diced tomatoes also work. For the tomato sauce, passata is a great alternative. The lemon juice is the secret ingredient for brightness; do not skip it.
