Main Ingredients

1 small head small head of cabbage, chopped (about 6–8 cups chopped) Green or savoy cabbage works well.
2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds or half-moons
1 small small onion, diced
4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium if you plan to salt later) Use low-sodium broth to control salt intake.
1 tsp garlic powder (or 1–2 cloves fresh garlic, minced) For brighter flavor, use minced garlic.

Cooking Method

Pour the vegetable broth into a large pot and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sliced carrots to the pot. Sauté in the hot broth for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the carrots begin to soften.
Stir in the chopped cabbage and sprinkle the garlic powder (or add minced garlic). Push the vegetables down so they’re submerged in the broth.
Lower the heat and let the soup simmer, uncovered, for 20–25 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender when pierced with a fork.
Taste and adjust seasoning — add salt, black pepper, or a splash of lemon juice for brightness — then ladle and serve warm.

Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil or yogurt. Pairs well with crusty bread, garlic toast, salads, or cooked grains.
