Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1/2 green cabbage, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced into thin coins
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups tomatoes, diced

Liquids & Broth

  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Seasonings & Herbs

  • 1 teaspoon oregano, dry
  • 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper
  • 1 bay leaf, dry
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free and vegan miso paste (start with 1 tablespoon and add up to 3 tablespoons or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop the green cabbage, dice the celery and onion, slice carrots into thin coins, mince garlic, and dice tomatoes; keep all ingredients ready for cooking.
  2. Slow Cooker Method: Add all the ingredients into the slow cooker. Set on low heat and cook for 4-6 hours until the vegetables are tender. Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley.
  3. Stovetop Method: Place all ingredients into a large pot and heat over medium-high. When the soup starts bubbling around the sides, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 20-30 minutes or until the carrots are soft.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth to keep the soup vegetarian and vegan; chicken broth can be used if not concerned about dietary restrictions.
  • Adjust the amount of miso paste gradually to suit your taste preference and control the soup’s saltiness.
  • Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh flavor as a garnish but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • For a spicier version, increase the red pepper quantity or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • This soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
