Cabbage Soup
Description
The Cabbage Soup starts with sautéing onion, carrot, and celery in olive oil to build a fragrant base. Adding garlic and then a mix of red and green bell peppers, coarsely chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes with their juices, and Italian seasoning creates a layered vegetable profile. The mixture simmers in chicken broth to meld flavors and soften the vegetables. Green beans are added near the end to retain some firmness while completing the vegetable variety. The soup is finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for brightness.
This soup provides a chunky texture with tender vegetables in a clear, flavorful broth. It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with crusty bread for a satisfying meal. The variety of vegetables and seasoning make it a versatile dish for cooler days or as part of a balanced diet.
For even cooking, vegetables should be cut into similarly sized pieces. Using either fresh or frozen green beans works depending on preference. The larger vegetable chunks contribute to a heartier texture in the finished soup.
