INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup carrots
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ½ cup tomatoes diced
  • 2 tablespoons green onions
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 4 cups cabbage sliced
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 cups hot water

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook until translucent.
  • Add in carrots, cook for about 5 minutes. 
  • Add in tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add in green onions, parsley, cabbage, salt and pepper and lemon juice. Give it a good stir. 
  • Cook covered for 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour hot water into the pot. Bring it to boil and then let it simmer covered for 15 minutes. 
  • Serve with fresh parsley.

NOTES

  • Don't skip the following ingredients: Tomato paste, tomatoes, garlic, lemon and parsley. These take a simple vegetarian cabbage soup recipe to a whole new level. It never tastes bland like a regular detox soup.
  • Use veg broth  if you want even more flavor. But we really don't think it is needed in this recipe.
  • If you are a fan of tangy flavor in soups, you can add an extra splash of lemon juice over the bowl when eating.
  • To make a more filling soup, you can add in some legumes like cooked chickpeas or white beans.
