This cabbage vegetable soup was inspired by the weight watchers cabbage soup that I ate in college (20+ years ago). Although I did not join my friends in weight watchers, I joined them in eating their soup! It’s a simple soup; nothing over the top, but some days it hits the spot.

This is one of those soups you can play around with different vegetables depending on what you have on hand. The only thing I would not suggest is using red cabbage instead of green. I’ve done it before since it was all I had, but I could not get over the color. … a tad too scary to repeat 🙂

If you want to make the soup a little more colorful, use different colored carrots – I used yellow and orange here. When I have collard greens on hand, I like adding in those as well. Use the recipe as a guide and put your own spin on it depending on what you have on hand.

Cabbage Vegetable Soup Recipe

Ingredients

1 yellow onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 sticks/ribs celery, sliced OR 1 sliced zucchini
2-3 carrots, coined
2 32oz cartons vegetable broth Bonafide is a clean brand
small/medium head of green cabbage, chopped (use less if you wish- I like a lot)
optional, 1 bunch of collard greens, chopped up
3 TBSP tomato paste or 8 oz strained tomatoes – (whatever you have on hand)
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried basil
salt and pepper to taste, I use 1/2 tsp salt
optional, add a smidge of lemon to cut down on salt and/or brighten the flavor a bit

Method

Pour a little water or broth in a large stockpot and heat on medium. Sauté the onion, jalapeno, and garlic for around 5 minutes and then add in the celery, carrots, a splash more of broth, and sauté for about 10 more minutes.

Once the celery and carrots have sautéed for a bit, add in the cabbage, remaining broth, tomato paste, oregano, and basil. Give it a good stir. It will look like a lot of cabbage, but it cooks down.

Get it to a good low boil. After this, turn down the heat to a good simmer and put the cover on for 25 minutes. Check it and give it a good stir. Simmer for around 10-15 minutes more. Add in salt and pepper to taste and even squeeze in a little lemon if you desire. Enjoy! Xx
