Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth Make sure to use Halal-friendly broth.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • as needed Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and dice the potatoes, shred the cabbage, chop the onion, and dice the carrots. Mince the garlic.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions become translucent and the carrots soften.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and shredded cabbage. Cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the cabbage to wilt.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, blend a portion of the soup for a creamier consistency.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For substitutions, you can use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes or frozen vegetables if fresh aren't available. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently, adding broth if needed.
