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 the chopped onion and sliced carrots, stirring occasionally, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the garlic, fresh ginger, turmeric, and crushed red pepper, stirring for about 1 minute until the aromas emerge.
  4. Pour in the broth along with the diced tomatoes and their liquid, then season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Add the chopped cabbage and diced zucchini to the pot, allowing it to return to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the soup, stirring every now and then, until all the vegetables are tender, roughly 10 minutes.
  7. Serve the soup hot, sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley if you like.

Notes

  • For a heartier meal, serve this soup with crusty bread. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated on the stovetop.
