 How I Make This Soup in My Kitchen

Whenever I make this soup, I try to treat it like a little self care ritual. I pour my favorite tea, play some music, and just enjoy the process. Here’s how I bring it together:

Step 1 Sauté the base

In a large soup pot, I warm a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add in my diced onions, garlic, celery, and carrots. I sauté for about 5–7 minutes until everything smells amazing and looks slightly softened.

Step 2 Add the veggies

Next, I stir in the chopped cabbage, bell peppers, zucchini (or green beans), and give it all a good mix. It’ll look like a lot, but it cooks down beautifully.

Step 3 Pour in broth & tomatoes

I add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, all the herbs, and spices, then stir well. I toss in a bay leaf and bring everything to a boil.

Step 4 Simmer and let the magic happen

Once it reaches a boil, I reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30–40 minutes, uncovered. The cabbage gets tender, the flavors deepen, and my kitchen starts to smell like a spa day for the soul.

Step 5 Finish it off

Just before serving, I remove the bay leaf and add a handful of fresh parsley and a splash of lemon juice. That little burst of freshness makes all the difference!

 Jessy’s Pro Tips

  • Want more protein? Add white beans, lentils, or grilled chicken if you like!

  • Spice it up with a dash of turmeric, cumin, or curry powder for extra warmth and healing.

  • Meal prep magic: This soup keeps beautifully in the fridge for 5–6 days, and you can freeze it in individual portions.

  • Tired of cabbage? Switch it up with kale, spinach, or bok choy it’s super versatile.

 How I Enjoy This Soup

I usually eat this soup for lunch or dinner for a few days when I’m doing a gentle reset. I pair it with herbal tea and keep my meals light and clean the rest of the day. It keeps me full, satisfied, and I honestly feel clearer, lighter, and happier when I’m eating this way.

Sometimes, I’ll serve it with a slice of whole grain bread or even a scoop of quinoa stirred in. It’s also a perfect start to a bigger meal light enough as a first course, but rich enough to stand on its own.
