Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup chopped carrots (from 4 medium carrots, peeled)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Crushed red pepper flakes
Handful fresh cherry tomatoes, halved (about 10 small cherry tomatoes)
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
64 ounces vegetable stock (2 quarts) (8 cups), plus more if desired
1 medium head cabbage, cored and chopped (about 1 3/4 pounds)
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 loaf your favorite French bread, sliced on the diagonal
Olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
Minced garlic, for topping (optional)
Flaky or crystal sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the soup: Heat the olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent (not browned), about 8 minutes. Add salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to your desired preference. Then stir in the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring the entire mixture to a boil.
  • Once boiling, stir in the cabbage and beans and keep it simmering, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Add more stock or water if you prefer more liquid and taste and season with more salt and pepper, if necessary. When finished, sprinkle over and stir in the parsley for color and flavor.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crostini or garlic bread, if desired.
  • For the crostini: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil. You can also smear minced garlic over the top, if desired.
  • Bake until crunchy and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Take the crostini out of the oven, drizzle the tops with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over the top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For the best flavor, select a firm, heavy head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Green cabbage is the most common type used in cabbage soup, but you can also use red or savoy cabbage for a different flavor profile.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, feel free to add other vegetables to your soup such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, or zucchini. This will add more flavor and texture to the soup.
  • Season to taste: Cabbage soup is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. However, you can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as bay leaves, thyme, or paprika.
  • Simmer for flavor: The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be. Aim to simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: Cabbage soup is often served with a side of bread or crackers for dipping. This helps to soak up the delicious broth and makes the meal more filling.

Conclusion:

Cabbage soup is a delicious, healthy, and affordable meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and it is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
