Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 3 carrots, chopped (325g)
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped (105g)
  • 1 onion, chopped (260g)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced (19g)
  • 1 small head cabbage, chopped (about 1.5 pounds/675g)

Liquids & Canned Goods

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups chicken broth (907g)
  • 1 (28-ounce/793g) can diced tomatoes

Seasonings

  • 1½ teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
  2. Add main ingredients: Stir in the chopped cabbage, chicken broth, diced tomatoes with their juice, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the soup simmer gently until the cabbage is tender, approximately 25 minutes.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm.
  5. Storage: Store leftover soup in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 6 months.

  • For a vegetarian or vegan version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • You can add other vegetables such as potatoes or green beans for extra texture and flavor.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially if using a low-sodium broth.
  • This soup freezes well and is perfect for make-ahead meals.
