Ingredients

Vegetables and Broth

  • 1/4 onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1/4 head cabbage (chopped into 1-inch chunks)
  • 1 medium carrot (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 celery stalk (sliced thinly)
  • ½ can (7 ounces) chopped tomatoes or ½ cup fresh tomatoes

Spices and Oil

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions turn translucent, about 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
  2. Transfer to Slow Cooker: Move the sautéed onion and garlic mixture into the slow cooker to form the flavorful base of the soup.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the broth, then add the salt, pepper, oregano, smoked paprika, cabbage chunks, chopped carrot, sliced celery, and tomatoes to the slow cooker.
  4. Mix Well: Stir the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors throughout the soup.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together beautifully.
  6. Adjust Seasoning: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding a pinch more smoked paprika or salt to enhance the flavor.
  7. Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and enjoy a nourishing, hearty meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth to make this recipe vegetarian.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving can brighten the soup’s flavors.
