Directions
Warm some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the cabbage, celery, onion, and garlic, and cook everything together until the onion turns translucent—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Next, pour in the water and crumble in the vegetable bouillon. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and a splash of vinegar. Give it a good stir, then slowly sprinkle in the sugar, tasting as you go until the broth is just sweet enough for you. Season the soup with paprika, cayenne, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring it all up to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the veggies are nice and tender—about 40 minutes to an hour.
How To Enjoy This Dish
Serve this soup warm with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad. It also pairs well with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added freshness and creaminess.
Refrigeration Tips
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. This soup can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
