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.

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.

How To Make Vegan Cabbage Soup

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.
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.
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.
