Dutch Oven Recipes: Cabbage Soup
Description
The recipe starts by sautéing carrots, onion, and celery in olive oil with salt and pepper to soften and develop flavor. After the vegetables are lightly cooked, white wine vinegar is added to introduce acidity. Fire-roasted diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, cooked white beans, diced Yukon gold potatoes, chopped green cabbage, and dried thyme are then added to the pot.
The soup simmers covered for 20 to 30 minutes until potatoes and cabbage are tender but still hold shape. The resulting soup has a balance of sweetness from the carrots and onions, hearty texture from the beans and potatoes, and a fresh cabbage flavor uplifted by the vinegar. It’s seasoned simply to allow the vegetable flavors to shine and garnished with fresh parsley for brightness.
Ideal for a warming meal, this soup can be prepared ahead and reheated. The Dutch oven ensures even cooking and melded flavors throughout.
