Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 4 carrots peeled and sliced
- 2 sticks of celery sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 2 cups gold potatoes peeled and diced
- 10-12 cups green cabbage chopped into 1” pieces
- 2 teaspoons caraway seed optional but recommended
- 1 14.5- ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 8 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or 4 cups broth, 4 cups water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Aromatics: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, sauté for 3-5 minutes until they start to brown. Toss in the garlic, black pepper, thyme, and caraway seed. Cook for another minute until everything is fragrant.
- Simmer: Mix in the potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir well. It might seem thick, but the cabbage will release liquid as it cooks. Bring to a boil on high heat, then lower to medium and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and translucent.
- Serve: Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with freshly ground black pepper if you like, and enjoy warm. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
