This cabbage soup reminds me a lot of childhood. My mother used to make it a lot, and with time, it turned out to be one of my favorite soup recipes.
How to make Cabbage Soup
In a stock pot heat oil over medium-low heat. Cook onion, carrots, celery, parsley, red pepper and saute for about 5 minutes. Add paprika and tomato puree and stir to combine. Add the vegetable stock and cabbage and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add chili pepper, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender to bite. Add dill, thyme, more salt and pepper if still needed, simmer for 2 more minutes and remove from heat. Serve with sour cream and freshly baked crusty bread for a delightful meal.
The soup is comforting and healthy, spicy and flavorful, the combination of cabbage with dill and thyme is simply perfect. This soup is without meat but you can also consider adding some smoked meat if desired.
This cabbage soup is often considered a “diet” soup as it is low in calories and high in fiber, making it a great dish for those who are trying to lose weight. It is a perfect dish for cold weather and a budget-friendly meal. Hope you will try it out, tag me on Instagram if you do and enjoy it.
