Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • 3 cups of red cabbage, chopped into pieces
  • 1 ½ cups of celery, chopped finely
  • 1 cup of onion, chopped into small bits
  • 3 cloves of garlic, crushed gently
  • 5 cups of water for the base
  • 1 cube of optional vegetable bouillon
  • 1 can (14 oz) of diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (6 oz) of tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp of white vinegar added for zest
  • ¼ cup of brown sugar, adjust to personal preference
  • ½ tsp of paprika for a hint of spice
  • ½ tsp of cayenne powder, adjust to taste
  • ¼ tsp of dried rosemary for aroma
  • ¼ tsp of dried thyme for a herbal touch
  • A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to season.

Step 1

Begin by heating a generous amount of oil in a spacious saucepan placed over medium heat. Toss in a delightful mix of cabbage, celery, onion, and garlic, allowing them to mingle and release their flavors until the onion turns translucent, which typically takes around 5 minutes. Next, pour in some water and crumble in some vegetable bouillon for that extra depth of taste. As the mixture simmers, introduce diced tomatoes, luscious tomato paste, and a splash of vinegar, stirring gently and gradually incorporating sugar to achieve the perfect balance of sweetness in the broth.

Step 2

Now, it's time to elevate the flavors by seasoning the soup with a harmonious blend of paprika, a hint of cayenne for a kick, fragrant rosemary, earthy thyme, and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring the concoction to a lively boil, then lower the heat and let it gently simmer until the vegetables are tender, which usually takes anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour. This slow simmering process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, resulting in a deliciously comforting and nourishing soup.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your cabbage fresh and crisp by storing it in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Make sure to wrap it in a damp paper towel to maintain its moisture.
  2. 2. For added sweetness in your cabbage soup, store some apples alongside your cabbage. The natural sugars from the apples will complement the flavors of the soup perfectly.
