Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium head of green cabbage, cored and shredded
- 8 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional: Cooked sausage
- Optional: Ground beef
- Optional: Shredded chicken
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Then, add the shredded cabbage and cook until it begins to soften, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (undrained). Stir in the Italian seasoning and smoked paprika. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes, or up to 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- If you’re using cooked sausage, ground beef, or shredded chicken, add it to the soup during the last 10 minutes of simmering. This will give it time to warm through.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese also adds a nice touch!
