Cabbage Soup is a hearty and savory vegetable soup featuring tender cabbage, fresh carrots, celery, and stewed tomatoes, all simmered in a flavorful broth with aromatic spices. This easy-to-make soup is perfect for a comforting dinner and can be prepared in under 45 minutes, making it a nutritious and satisfying meal for the whole family.

Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups low sodium chicken broth (vegetable broth can also be used)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper, or to taste

Vegetables

  • 1/2 head cabbage, chopped into 1 1/2 inch chunks
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 ribs celery, sliced thinly
  • 14.5 ounces stewed tomatoes (just under two cups fresh cut tomatoes)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and add the kosher salt, dried thyme, and coarse ground black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped cabbage, carrots, celery, and stewed tomatoes to the pot. Stir everything together to ensure the vegetables are well mixed with the broth and seasonings.
  4. Simmer Soup: Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to help flavors meld. Check seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if necessary before serving.

Notes

  • Low sodium chicken broth is recommended to control the salt content, but vegetable broth can be used for a vegetarian version.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like green beans or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
  • This soup stores well and tastes great reheated, making it a perfect meal prep option.
  • For a vegan variation, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit any animal-based ingredients if added.
