Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained

Liquids & Oils

  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for extra flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for added brightness)

Spices & Herbs

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, chopped carrots, and chopped celery; sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the garlic to release its aroma without burning.
  3. Add Cabbage and Seasonings: Add the chopped cabbage along with ground turmeric, ground cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the vegetables with the spices.
  4. Add Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the vegetable broth and the canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
  5. Simmer the Soup: Cover the pot and let the soup cook gently for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust salt as needed. If desired, stir in lemon juice for added brightness. Serve the soup warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Using chicken broth instead of vegetable broth will add extra depth of flavor but will make the soup non-vegetarian.
  • Lemon juice is optional but enhances the flavor by adding a fresh tang.
  • You can add other low-calorie vegetables like zucchini or green beans for variety.
  • This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freezes easily for up to 1 month.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes along with the other spices.
