Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 5 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced (3 tablespoons)
- 4 cups chopped green cabbage
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish
- 4 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth or no-chicken broth
- 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed
- 2½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced garlic. Cook while stirring occasionally until softened and fragrant but not browned, about 4 minutes.
- Add the chopped cabbage, dried oregano, and ground pepper to the pot. Continue cooking while stirring until the cabbage begins to soften, roughly 3 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth along with the rinsed cannellini beans. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook while stirring occasionally until the cabbage is tender—approximately 8 minutes.
- In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and add the salt. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle about ½ cup of hot soup broth into the mixture until completely combined. Repeat this process once more.
- Remove the soup from heat. Whisk in the tempered mixture along with chopped fresh dill. Divide among four bowls; garnish with additional dill if desired.
