Directions
Heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them until the onion becomes soft and translucent—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Next, add water along with a pinch of salt and pepper, then bring everything to a gentle boil. Once boiling, throw in the celery, zucchini, and bell peppers, and let them cook for about 7 minutes. After that, stir in all the cabbage and keep the soup boiling until the cabbage softens to your liking, which should take around 30 minutes. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
Serving Inspiration
Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill can brighten the flavors and add a creamy texture.
Leftover Storage Guide
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if the soup has thickened too much. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.
