Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 6 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage begins to soften.
Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable stock. Add the caraway seeds and paprika, stirring to distribute evenly.
Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Optionally, top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.
