Ingredients

For the Soup:

1 small head of green cabbage, chopped

1 large onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, sliced

2 celery stalks, chopped

1 bell pepper (red or green), diced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, no salt added

4 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)

2 cups water

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add the Remaining Vegetables: Add the carrots, celery, bell pepper, and zucchini to the pot. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
  3. Add the Spices: Stir in the turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to let the spices bloom and become aromatic.
  4. Add the Liquids: Pour in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and water. Stir well, bringing everything to a boil.
  5. Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!
