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

Liquids & Broth

  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for extra flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste

Optional Garnish & Additions

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for added brightness)

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 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release its aroma.
  2. Add Cabbage and Seasonings: Add the chopped cabbage to the pot along with ground turmeric, ground cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat all the vegetables with the spices, enhancing the soup’s flavor.
  3. Add Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the vegetable broth and the canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Mix everything together, bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and cook the soup for 25-30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors meld.
  4. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the salt as needed. For added brightness, stir in lemon juice if desired. Serve the soup warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley to add a fresh herbal note and appealing presentation.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth for vegetable broth to add a richer flavor if not strictly vegetarian.
  • Adjust the spices according to your taste preferences or dietary restrictions.
  • This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Adding lemon juice at the end brightens the flavor and adds a slight tang that complements the spices.
  • For a heartier version, consider adding cooked beans or lentils for extra protein.
