Cabbage Soup
Description
This Cabbage Soup recipe uses olive oil sautéed onions and garlic to build the base flavor before adding a mix of chicken or vegetable broth, cabbage pieces, chopped carrots, celery, and stewed tomatoes. Seasoned lightly with kosher salt, black pepper, and dried thyme, the ingredients are simmered together for 30 minutes to meld the flavors and soften the vegetables. The cabbage breaks down slightly, enriching the broth and creating a satisfying texture without heaviness.
The resulting soup offers a balance of savory and mild herbal notes with a comforting warmth. It can be served as a starter or light main course. Its vegetable-centric profile makes it adaptable to include other seasonal vegetables or to be enjoyed with crusty bread.
Instructions include practical guidance on ingredient amounts and cooking times, supporting easy preparation and adjustments for serving size. The recipe emphasizes simmering to develop flavor and soften the vegetables without overcooking.
