Equipment

  • 5qt. dutch oven
  • Instant Pot
  • slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup water or 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (optional)
  • 2 large carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 sticks celery sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 can (28oz) diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1 medium potato or 6 baby, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 ½ cups green beans sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 head (2lbs.) green cabbage cored and chopped (about 8 - 10 cups)
  • 5 - 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • balsamic or white wine vinegar splash (or juice of small lemon)

To serve, optional

  • chopped parsley
  • lemon wedges
  • crusty bread

Instructions
 

Stovetop

  • In a large 5qt. dutch oven or pot, heat water/olive oil over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onions and garlic, saute for 4 minutes. Add the herbs and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, and liquids, cover, bring to a boil. Remove lid, cabbage should be starting to shrink enough that you can give a good stir. Cover, turn heat to low and simmer for 20 – 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add more water if needed, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add splash of vinegar or lemon juice for punch of flavor.
  • Ladle into soup bowls and top with chopped parsley. Pairs great with homemade vegan cornbread, vegan naan, or artisan bread.

Storage

  • Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 – 5 days. Store covered. To keep longer, store in the freezer in freezer-safe containers for 2 – 3 months.

Notes

You can use your favorite potato, but we recommend white, red, or Yukon. For variation, use sweet potato for extra nutrition. Adjust veggies according to preference. Add beans for protein. For a smoky flavor, try using sweet or smoked paprika.
