Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 large carrots, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups crushed tomatoes
  • 8 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
  3. Add shredded cabbage to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cabbage will begin to wilt and reduce in volume.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth and crushed tomatoes. Add dried oregano, thyme, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Simmer for 25-30 minutes until all vegetables are tender. Stir in apple cider vinegar during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Choose firm cabbage heads with crisp leaves for best texture. For truly low-sodium soup, use homemade vegetable broth. Freezes beautifully for up to 3 months when cooled completely in airtight containers.
