Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, no salt added
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the shredded cabbage, sliced carrots, and chopped celery to the pot. Stir to combine with the aromatics and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and low-sodium vegetable broth. Add dried oregano, thyme, black pepper, and bay leaf. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
  5. Remove the bay leaf. Stir in fresh parsley just before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Soup stores beautifully in refrigerator for up to 5 days. For extra nutrition, add spinach or kale during last 5 minutes of cooking. Can customize with additional vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
