Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, about 1.5 lbs) Green cabbage
- 3 medium Carrots
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 Celery stalks
- 14 oz Tomatoes (diced, canned or fresh)
- 6 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 Bay leaf
- 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Core and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Peel and dice the carrots and potatoes. Finely chop the onion and celery. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots, potatoes, and cabbage to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the seasoning.
Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine. Add the bay leaf.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the vegetables for tenderness after 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the cabbage soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers on the side. Enjoy!
