Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 1 small leek, white part only, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 small head green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut
  • 2 cups chopped kale or Swiss chard
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon and chopped parsley to finish

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until soft, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic, celery, carrots, and leek. Cook for 3–4 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add cabbage, zucchini, and green beans. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil.
  5. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  6. Stir in kale and simmer for 3–5 more minutes until wilted. Remove bay leaf.
  7. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Chop vegetables roughly the same size for even cooking. This soup can be made thicker by blending some of it or adding coconut milk.
