Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium head green cabbage chopped (about 6 cups)
  • 4 medium carrots sliced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped cabbage and sliced carrots to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Stir in the diced tomatoes and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
