Vegetarian Cabbage Soup is a hearty, nutritious, and flavorful dish made with tender cabbage, fresh vegetables, and a savory broth. Perfect for a light meal or side dish, it’s easy to make, comforting, and packed with healthy ingredients.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, peeled and diced

2 celery stalks, chopped

1 small head of cabbage, chopped

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

1 bay leaf

1 cup green beans, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the Carrots, Celery, and Cabbage: Add diced carrots, chopped celery, and cabbage to the pot. Stir and cook for 5 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt.
  3. Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and vegetable broth. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring the soup to a simmer.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Add the Green Beans and Peas (Optional): Add green beans and peas about 10 minutes before the soup is done cooking. Stir to combine and cook through.
  6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or herbs. Optionally, add fresh lemon juice for a zesty finish.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Add beans like chickpeas, kidney beans, or cannellini beans for extra protein.

For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or fresh diced jalapeños.

Customize with additional veggies like zucchini, potatoes, or parsnips for a heartier dish.

For a creamy version, blend part of the soup or add coconut milk for richness.
