Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium head of green cabbage, cored and chopped
- 2 celery sticks, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced into thin rounds
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ to 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or red pepper flakes)
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomato
- 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup chopped parsley leaves (from about 1 bunch parsley)
- 3 green onions, trimmed and sliced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or cooking pot, heat the olive oil until it shimmers. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring frequently until the garlic is fragrant and translucent.
- Toss in the cabbage, celery, carrots, and kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Sprinkle in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and Aleppo pepper. Stir well to coat the veggies with the spices.
- Add the diced tomatoes with their juices and the vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot, leaving a small opening for steam to escape. Let it simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, and stir in the chopped parsley, green onions, grated ginger, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if needed. Enjoy your nourishing bowl of soup!
