Mediterranean Detox Cabbage Soup (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Add the garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Add the Vegetables:

Stir in the chopped cabbage, celery, and carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften.

Season the Soup:

Season with kosher salt, black pepper, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, and Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.

Add the Tomatoes and Broth:

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and vegetable broth. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Finish the Soup:

Stir in the chopped parsley, green onions, freshly grated ginger, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper for an extra kick.
