Cabbage Soup
Cabbage Soup is a vegetable-rich broth combining cabbage, carrots, celery, stewed tomatoes, and aromatics like onion and garlic. Simmering for 30 minutes blends flavors into a gentle, savory soup with light herb notes and a soft, tender texture from the cabbage and carrots. This soup balances the earthiness of cabbage with the freshness of tomato and thyme, making it a warming, straightforward dish to enjoy as a light meal or starter.
