Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of neutral oil
- 4 large carrots, chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 4 celery ribs, sliced
- 6 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar (optional)
- 1 (25-ounce) can of diced tomatoes, in their juices
- 5 to 6 cups of water
- 2 vegetable bouillon cubes
- 1 pound of green cabbage, shredded
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 lemon
- fresh parsley, garnish (optional)
- red pepper flakes, garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium high heat, heat the oil. Add the carrots, onion, and celery. Mix regularly and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, salt, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute, mixing regularly.
- Add the wine vinegar if using, mix well, and add the diced tomatoes. Mix and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the water, bullion cubes, cabbage, and thyme. Mix well, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
- Once the 20 minutes have passed, taste, and adjust the salt levels to taste.
- Add the juice of one lemon, mix, serve, and garnish with parsley and crushed red pepper flakes.

Notes
- Pre-sauté the veg: This not only helps soften them, but if you allow them to become lightly caramelized, you’ll achieve a deeper, more complex flavor.
- To adjust the consistency: Add more broth for a thinner soup. If it’s too thin, leave it to simmer and reduce further or turn to a thickener like cornstarch.
- Let it rest: Even just 10 minutes off-heat can help, but homemade cabbage soup tastes even better on day two when the flavors have a chance to meld.
