Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, peeled and sliced

2 celery stalks, sliced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1/2 head green cabbage, chopped

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

6 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Add the minced garlic, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 2: Add the Remaining Vegetables

Stir in the carrots, celery, and green bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften the vegetables slightly.

Step 3: Add the Cabbage and Broth

Add the chopped cabbage and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and vegetable or chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Step 4: Season and Simmer

Add the dried basil, oregano, paprika, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.

Step 5: Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

You can also incorporate beans or lentils for added protein and fiber.

This soup can be enjoyed as part of a detox or weight-loss plan, but it’s delicious enough to enjoy anytime!
