Cabbage soup is about as comforting and healthy as they come! All you need to do is simmer a bunch of sliced cabbage with mirepoix vegetables, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and herbs for an easy and delicious, low calorie meal.
Because you all loved my lentil soup so much, I couldn’t wait to make this cabbage soup. It’s cozy, flavorful, and all sorts of healthy thanks to the nutritional powerhouse: cabbage! This vegetable shines bright with health benefits (which I’ll get to below) and is a great anti-inflammatory and low-carb veggie to include in your routine.
And while this soup is on the lighter side, there’s so many ways to make this the hearty, winter soup of your dreams. It’s truly one of the most adaptable soups! You can add in ground meat, plant-based proteins, extra veggies, different spices and the list goes on. Needless to say, this is a warming, soothing recipe you’ll want to keep up your sleeve during the cold winter months!
CABBAGE SOUP INGREDIENTS
While cabbage takes center stage in this soup, the supporting ingredients add tons of flavor and texture. Here’s what you’ll need.
- Cabbage: Green cabbage is best for its tenderness and sweetness when cooked, especially in soups.
- Mirepoix Vegetables: Chop up white onion, celery, and carrot for a nourishing veggie base.
- Garlic: Two cloves are great, but if you’re like me and love garlic, feel free to add a little more!
- Herbs: A combo of dried oregano, basil, and fresh parsley for herbal goodness.
- Diced Tomatoes: I’m using regular diced tomatoes, but feel free to use fire roasted tomatoes for extra flavor.
- Vegetable Broth: While this recipe uses 4 cups, you can add extra for a more brothy soup.
- Olive Oil: Gives the sautéed vegetables life in this soup recipe.
