Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 large onion, chopped
  2. 2 large carrots, sliced
  3. 3 celery stalks, chopped
  4. 2 bell peppers (any color), chopped
  5. 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
  6. 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, no added sugar
  7. 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  8. 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  9. 1 inch ginger, grated (optional)
  10. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  11. ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  12. Salt and pepper to taste
  13. Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  14. Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a little olive oil or cooking spray over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and ginger (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the vegetables: Add the carrots, celery, and bell peppers to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Add remaining ingredients: Add the cabbage, diced tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Blend (optional): If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.

Notes

  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of cumin, coriander, or turmeric for a different flavor profile.
  • Add protein: Add cooked chicken, ground turkey, lentils, or beans to the soup for a more complete meal.
  • Make it creamy: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a swirl of coconut milk to each bowl for a creamy texture.
  • Boost the flavor: Use homemade vegetable broth for a richer flavor.
  • Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach.
  • Adjust seasonings: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed.
