Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrot, diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 2 cups white button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and sauté for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and taste the soup, adjusting the seasoning as needed with additional salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy!
