Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz / 410 g) diced tomatoes (with juices)
  • 6 cups (1.4 L) low-sodium vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
  • Juice of 1 lemon (optional, for added brightness)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Sauté the vegetables:

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery; sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened.

2. Add cabbage and peppers:

  • Stir in the chopped cabbage and bell peppers, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt.

3. Add broth and seasonings:

  • Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and vegetable broth.
  • Stir in thyme, basil, paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until all vegetables are tender.

4. Finish and serve:

  • Add lemon juice if using, and adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add extra protein by including cooked shredded chicken, lean turkey, or white beans.
  • Swap veggies depending on what you have—zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach work well.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
