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)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, optional for garnish)

Liquids & Broth

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

Seasonings & Spices

  • 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 (or start with 1 tablespoon and add up to 3 tablespoons or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Slow Cooker Method: Combine all the ingredients—chopped cabbage, diced celery, onion, sliced carrots, minced garlic, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, oregano, pink Himalayan salt, red pepper, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, bay leaf, and miso paste—into a slow cooker. Stir well to mix the miso evenly. Set the slow cooker on low heat and cook for 4 to 6 hours. When done, remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
  2. Stovetop Method: Place all the ingredients into a large pot, including the miso paste, vegetables, seasonings, and broth. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle bubble around the edges. Once bubbling, cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the soup to cook gently for 20 to 30 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • The miso paste added at the end of cooking enhances the soup’s umami flavor; start with less and add more to suit your taste.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth for a non-vegetarian version.
  • Fresh parsley adds a bright flavor and nice presentation but is optional.
  • This soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the red pepper amount for desired heat level.
  • For a thicker soup, reduce the broth slightly or blend a portion of the soup before serving.
