Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 medium carrots, halved and sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 14-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes or 2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 5 cups coarsely chopped green cabbage
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and sliced carrots, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  3. Mix in minced garlic, fresh ginger, turmeric, and crushed red pepper, cooking until aromatic, approximately 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the broth along with the diced tomatoes and their juices; season with salt and ground pepper, then bring everything to a boil.
  5. Incorporate the chopped cabbage and diced zucchini, letting the soup return to a boil.
  6. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring now and then, until the vegetables are tender, roughly 10 minutes.
  7. Serve the soup hot, topped with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley if you like.

Notes

  • For a heartier meal, serve with crusty bread or add cooked beans. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stove.
