Step-by-Step Instructions for Fiber Healing Soup
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add one finely chopped yellow onion and a pinch of sea salt, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
  2. Next, add 6 to 8 minced garlic cloves to the pot, stirring constantly for 30-60 seconds.
  3. Introduce 2 sliced carrots and 2 chopped celery stalks into the pot, stirring well. Cook these vibrant vegetables for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Now, stir in one medium head of chopped green cabbage along with 6 cups of low-sodium vegetable or bone broth. Toss in one bay leaf and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme for added aroma.
  5. Once boiling, lower the heat and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes.
  6. After simmering, carefully remove the bay leaf and stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
  7. Ladle the warm Fiber Healing Soup into bowls, ready to be savored. For a fresh finishing touch, sprinkle with chopped parsley or dill if desired.
