Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, chopped carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add chopped cabbage, turmeric, cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables.
Add Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in vegetable broth and diced tomatoes (with juices). Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Season and Serve: Adjust salt to taste. Add lemon juice for extra brightness, if desired. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Variations: Add protein like shredded chicken, beans, or tofu for extra fullness. For a spicy kick, try adding red chili flakes or hot sauce. For color, swap regular cabbage with red cabbage.
Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. This soup also freezes well for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm it on the stovetop over low heat or microwave in short intervals.
