Cabbage Soup without Tomatoes (AIP)
Cabbage soup without tomatoes made with cabbage, carrot puree, celery, onions, kielbasa, and broth for a savory, tomato-free, nightshade-free soup.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for garnish
- 12 oz kielbasa links, medium dice
- 1 large yellow onion, medium dice
- 3 ribs celery, medium dice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup prepared carrot puree
- 1 medium head of cabbage, core removed and roughly chopped (about 6 cups)
- 6 cups chicken stock
- Fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat and brown the kielbasa on both sides.
- Reduce the heat and add the onions and celery to the pan with a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions become translucent, about five minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for one minute more, or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Stir in the carrot puree and cook for one to two minutes, to allow the carrot puree to begin to caramelize.
- Add in the cabbage with a generous pinch of salt. Then pour the chicken stock over until it just covers the cabbage.
- Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, then uncover and cook at a simmer until the cabbage is completely cooked through and tender.
- Serve warm topped with fresh dill and an additional drizzle of olive oil.
