Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or neutral oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 large carrots, sliced or diced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 6 cups vegetable or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1–2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp smoked or sweet paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or dill to finish

Instructions

  3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
