Healthy Cabbage Soup Recipe
Description
The Healthy Cabbage Soup Recipe starts by sautéing onions, celery, and carrots in olive oil, adding garlic briefly before combining with chicken broth, cabbage, diced tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. This mixture is simmered until the cabbage softens. The resulting soup has a bright, comforting vegetable character with a mildly tangy note from the tomatoes.
The soup is topped with shaved Parmesan cheese and chopped Italian parsley which add umami depth and fresh herbal brightness. The broth is clear and light, making it suitable for warmer seasons or as a simple starter.
This recipe gently flavors the vegetables without heavy ingredients, letting the cabbage and fresh aromatics take center stage. The option to add Parmesan rind during cooking can further enhance the savory richness.
