Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 12 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, for added health benefits)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a bright flavor)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Vegetables: Chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces: cabbage, onion, carrots, bell peppers, and celery. Mince the garlic.
  • Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion is soft and fragrant.
  • Simmer the Soup: Add the chopped cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, celery, and canned diced tomatoes (with juice) to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, and stir in the dried thyme, turmeric (if using), black pepper, and salt to taste.
  • Cook: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally.
  • Finish and Adjust: Before serving, stir in the lemon juice for a fresh, zesty flavor, if desired. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy hot!

Notes

  • For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
