This cabbage soup is totally vegan and gluten-free and loaded with chopped vegetables like cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes. It’s easy to make, freezes perfectly and is a totally wholesome dinner idea to have all week when life gets a little busy.

Because sometimes a good bowl of soup is exactly what I need to get back on track.

This tomatoey soup is delicious and comforting and totally healthy all the same time!!

I had never really attempted a cabbage-based vegetable soup before and I was definitely missing out. The cabbage becomes so soft and tender and flavourful. And together with the onions and carrots and potatoes, the smoked paprika and dried herbs and garlic, this soup packs a flavour punch.

And it’s easy to make too! Everything gets chopped, thrown in the pot and simmered for 40 minutes or so until the potatoes are cooked through and the cabbage is nicely wilted and tender.

Every bite is full of healthy and wintery, in-season vegetables which make both my tummy and taste buds happy. Best served with fresh parsley or sliced green onions on top, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or some toast on the side.

This detox veggie cabbage soup recipe makes a ton of soup – it’s perfect for dinner or lunch all week long or freeze any leftovers for later on.

Because who doesn’t feel good after a big bowl of vegetables!
