Ingredients:
- 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 stalks, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced into thin rounds
- ½ to ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (use less if you prefer mild)
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley (from about 1 bunch)
- 3 green onions, trimmed and sliced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
Method:
- Sauté aromatics. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
- Soften veggies. Add cabbage, celery, and carrots along with the salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften slightly, 5–7 minutes. (Covering the pot partway helps the cabbage wilt.)
- Add spices. Stir in turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes, coating the vegetables well.
- Simmer. Add tomatoes (with juices) and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover and simmer 20–25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Finish. Turn off the heat and stir in parsley, green onions, ginger, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve. Ladle into bowls and enjoy warm—with crusty bread, if you’d like.
