Cabbage and Carrot Soup

Cabbage and Carrot Soup

This soup is a low calorie powerhouse. The only significant calories come from the extra virgin olive oil. Pair this with a crispy grilled cheese sandwich and you have the perfect lunch or light supper. The flavors are mild and comforting, perfect for warming up after a winter ride. Add your favorite hot sauce and make it fiery to your personal perfection. I like adding some habanero hot sauce for a super soup burn, while my milder friends and family just ask me to cook some more.


  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and diced
  • 1 pound carrots, sliced
  • 1 medium cabbage, quartered, cored and cut into 1-inch slices
  • 1 quart vegetable broth
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over a medium high heat. Add the onions and carrots and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the onions become transparent. Add the cabbage, broth, water, celery seed, oregano, basil, salt and white pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 2 hours, stirring often. Serve with your favorite hot sauce!


Makes about 6 to 8 servings.
