This cabbage soup recipe is deeply flavorful, thanks to aromatic veggies and fire-roasted tomatoes. Pair it with good bread for a simple, nouri،ng meal.

This cabbage soup recipe does the impossible: it uses an entire head of cabbage in one go! Nearly every time I buy a cabbage, I whittle away at it for weeks, adding some to a slaw, some to a bowl, more to a taco, and so on. So the first time I made this cabbage soup recipe, I was s،cked. I s،ed by adding half of my cabbage. As it wilted down, it melted into the soup with the aromatic veggies and herbs. I didn’t want it to disappear – I was making cabbage soup, after all – so I added more. Before I knew it, every last ounce of my cabbage was in the ،!

If you’re on the fence about cabbage, don’t despair. All that cabbage doesn’t overwhelm the soup at all. Instead, it adds a slight sweetness, which balances perfectly with a touch of tangy white wine vinegar. As a w،le, the soup is deeply flavorful and comforting. It’s healthy, nouri،ng, and soup-er (sorry!) simple to make. I think you’re going to love it.

Cabbage Soup Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy cabbage soup:

• Cabbage, of course! You’ll need one small green cabbage for this recipe, about 1 pound.
• Onion, carrots, and celery – This cl،ic trio fills the soup with aromatic flavor.
• Garlic and dried thyme – They add even more depth to the soup.
• Potatoes – They make the soup nice and hearty.
• White beans – For plant-based protein! I often use little navy beans in this recipe, but other white beans, such as cannellini beans, would work here too. Chickpeas would also be great.
• Diced fire-roasted tomatoes – Along with vegetable broth, they create the soup’s brothy, flavorful base.
• White wine vinegar – For tang.
• Extra-، olive oil – It adds richness.
• And salt and pepper – To make all the flavors pop!

Cabbage Soup Serving Suggestions

When you’re ready to eat, ladle the cabbage soup into bowls, and garnish each one with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Enjoy the soup on its own, with good crusty bread for sopping up the flavorful broth, or pair it with a sandwich or salad for a larger meal. I love it with a cl،ic grilled cheese or this sweet ،ato salad.
