Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 small green cabbage cut into bite size chunks (about 7 cups
- 4 medium yellow potato cut into small cubes
- 8 cups of water
- 3 vegetable bouillon cubes
- 6 garlic peeled and thinly sliced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 2 cannellini beans drained and rinsed, 15.5-ounce cans
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 lemon plus more for garnish (optional
- parsley chopped for garnish (optional, fresh
Instructions
- Place a large pot with a lid over medium high heat and heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage, mix well and saute for 5 minutes. Regularly mixing to prevent burning.
- Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for one minute constantly mixing.
- Add the water, bullion cubes, and potatoes. Cover with the lid and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Mix well to help the boullion cubes dissolve. Cover with the lid and cook for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked. Cook for longer if you would like for the potatoes to disintegrate a bit for a naturally creamier consistency.
- Add the beans and juice of one lemon. Gently mix and taste. Add more salt or pepper to taste.
- Optionally serve with more lime wedges on the side and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Notes
- To save time: You can use pre-shredded cabbage and/or other prepared ingredients like diced onion and minced garlic.
- Sauté the vegetables: This lightly caramelizes the vegetables, resulting in a deeper, more complex, flavored cabbage soup with cannellini beans.
- Let it rest: When possible, make it in advance. This soup will taste even better after a few hours or on day two.
