Low Carb Cabbage Soup is a nutritious, filling meal made with healthy ingredients like cabbage, tomatoes, and fresh herbs. This low-carb, budget-friendly soup is perfect for weight loss, meal prepping, or anyone looking for a wholesome and comforting dish.

Ingredients

1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large tomatoes, diced
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup water
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they release their juices.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and water, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the chopped cabbage, apple cider vinegar, dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  6. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded together.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño for extra spice.
  • For a protein boost, add cooked chicken, turkey, or sausage.
  • For a creamy version, stir in some heavy cream or coconut milk.
  • Make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Add extra veggies like zucchini or cauliflower for more nutrition.
