  • 1 head green cabbage, sliced and core removed

Instructions

  1. Saute Vegetables and Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, carrots, fennel, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 to 8 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the vegetables soften slightly.
  2. Add Herbs and Seasonings: Stir in the dried oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes to allow the herbs and spices to release their flavors into the mixture.
  3. Add Soup Base Ingredients: Incorporate the sliced cabbage, fire roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, organic chicken bone broth, and drained white beans into the pot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cabbage becomes tender.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy this warm, nutritious soup immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken bone broth with vegetable broth.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add a pinch of red chili flakes during the herb addition step.
  • The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • White beans can be replaced with cannellini or navy beans if desired.
  • Adjust salt according to taste, especially if using salted broth or canned tomatoes with added salt.
