  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes (optional)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth for non-vegetarians
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano optional
  • 1 tsp dried basil optional
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for some heat
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice for a fresh, zesty kick

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Can Opener
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Heat the Pot: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and become fragrant.
  2. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Add the Cabbage: Stir in the chopped cabbage. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing it to wilt down a bit.
  4. Add the Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes (if using). Stir everything together, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Season the Soup: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and let the soup simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
  6. Finish and Serve: Stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Notes

For a smoother texture, you can blend a portion of the soup using a hand blender or a regular blender. This is optional but can give the soup a creamier consistency while still keeping it healthy and low-calorie. If you prefer a chunky soup, you can skip this step.
