This vegan Cabbage Soup is so easy to make, packed full of nutrients, and absolutely delicious! It’s low in calories, low in fat, but full of flavor. A warm and cozy soup perfect for those chilly winter nights.

When the weather turns cold I love to make soups that sit on the stove and simmer all day. And, this vegan Cabbage Soup is one of those soups. Green cabbage, bell peppers, and onions simmered to perfection in a delicious tomato broth. It’s one of the simplest, most convenient, cheapest, and healthiest soups you can make.

Cabbage soup is often referred to as “detox soup” or “weight-loss soup” because it’s clean, packed full of nutrients, and super low in calories. If you are looking for a way to take off a few of those extra unwanted Thanksgiving and Christmas pounds, this cabbage soup is perfect. You can practically burn calories eating it…or so they say.

If you want to make this soup a little heartier just toss in some potatoes or serve it up with my homemade vegan cornbread. Alright, LET’S MAKE IT!

Ingredients You’ll Need For Cabbage Soup

  • Diced Tomatoes: I used two 14-ounce cans of no salt added fire-roasted tomatoes. But, any type of canned tomatoes would work.
  • Copycat Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • Low-Sodium Vegetable Stock: You can use water, but the stock adds flavor.
  • Veggies: celery, bell peppers, and onions. Packed with nutrients, hearty and flavorful.
  • Green Cabbage

How To Make Vegan Cabbage Soup

  1. Add the tomatoes, dry onion soup mix, and low-sodium vegetable stock to a large soup pot or dutch oven and mix well. Then, heat the mixture over medium-high heat.
  2. While you are waiting for the mixture to come to a boil add the remaining vegetables to the pot. Gently stir and make sure everything is well combined.
  3. Once the soup comes to a boil reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the soup simmer for 60-90 minutes or until the veggies are tender. 

That’s all there is to it! A delicious and healthy vegetarian cabbage soup excellent for those colder months. It’s super basic so you can add more veggies or other sources of flavor if you prefer.

    Shane,
    This is so very much like a cabbage soup recipe that I’ve made for years. So delicious! In the past I added a pound of browned ground chuck. When I began to change my eating, I dropped the beef and added a can of red kidney beans. After over 20 years, it is still one of my favorite soups to make on a chilly evening. Your cornbread completes the meal.

    This is a wonderful soup–easy, flavorful, and so, so good. The onion soup mix recipe is great! Made up some extra and have it in a jar ready to go. We love this soup with our “millet butter” on Wasa light rye crackers. Thanks!!

    Could you use collard greens instead of cabbage in this? (Only cause I accidentally ordered a 2 lb bag of collard greens and want to use it up! LOL)

      I think that’s an excellent idea. You may have to cook a bit longer. But, the soup is meant to sit and simmmer. LOVE collard greens.
