Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head green or savoy cabbage, shredded (about 6 cups)
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced or diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric (or 1 tablespoon fresh grated turmeric)
  • 6 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, 4–5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, cumin, and turmeric. Cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in carrots and cook 2–3 minutes. Add shredded cabbage and toss to coat with spices.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth and drained tomatoes if using. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until cabbage is tender.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon juice and fresh herbs just before serving.

Notes

Great for meal prep; can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for 3 months. For a creamier texture, blend half the soup and return it to the pot.
