Cabbage turns tender and flavorful in this comforting soup. The aromatic broth is full of spices, including ginger and turmeric, making it perfect for enjoying on a cold day or keeping you hydrated if you're sick.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 medium carrots, halved and sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 14-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes or 2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
5 cups coarsely chopped green cabbage
1 medium zucchini, diced
chopped parsley for garnish
Directions:
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and carrots and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, turmeric and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, tomatoes and their juices, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Stir in cabbage and zucchini; return to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley, if desired.
