Lucky Cabbage & Pea Soup

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small green cabbage chopped
  • 2 cups green peas fresh or frozen
  • 2 medium potatoes diced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 –4 garlic cloves minced
  • 6 cups water or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium heat, add the onion and celery with a small splash of water and cook for 3–4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the potatoes, cabbage, peas and the water or broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 12–15 minutes, until the potatoes and cabbage are tender.
  • Blend about one to two cups of the soup and return it to the pot to create a naturally creamy texture without using cream.
  • Stir in the fresh parsley and season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
