Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cabbage, chopped
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into pieces

Instructions

  • Prepare your ingredients: Chop the cabbage, dice the onion, slice the carrots, dice celery stalks, mince garlic, and trim and cut green beans into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add everything to the crockpot: Place the chopped cabbage, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, green beans, undrained diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth into the crockpot.
  • Season your soup: Sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
  • Stir to combine: Mix all the ingredients well so the flavors distribute evenly throughout the crockpot.
  • Add the bay leaf: Place the bay leaf right on top of the mixture.
  • Cook your soup: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook. For the best flavor and texture, opt for low heat for 6 to 8 hours. If you’re in a hurry, high heat for 3 to 4 hours works as well.
  • Stir halfway through cooking: If possible, give the soup a gentle stir about halfway through the cooking time.

Notes

The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
For extra richness, add a splash of coconut milk before serving.
Fresh herbs like parsley or basil can be used instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor.
