Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup Celery, diced
- 1/4 cup Carrots, chopped
- 1.5 cups Cabbage, chopped
- 1/4 cup Capsicum, diced
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, finely chopped

- 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 8–10 Fresh Basil leaves, roughly torn
- 1 teaspoon Red Chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 cups Vegetable Stock
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add finely chopped ginger and garlic, frying them gently for about half a minute until fragrant, but not browned.
- Add the chopped onions to the pan and fry for another half a minute. Then add the diced celery, chopped carrots, cabbage, and diced capsicum. Cook everything together for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and salt, then pour in the vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
- Add dried oregano, torn basil leaves, red chili flakes, and freshly ground pepper. Mix well to combine all the seasonings evenly throughout the soup.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately for the best taste and nutritional benefits.
- Turn on the Instant Pot’s sauté mode, heat olive oil, and add ginger and garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the onions, celery, carrots, cabbage, capsicum, tomatoes, salt, and vegetable stock to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
- Lock the lid in place and ensure the valve is set to sealing mode. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes.
- Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure manually.
- Open the lid and stir in dried oregano, basil leaves, chili flakes, and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
- You can enjoy the soup chunky as is, or allow it to cool slightly and blend it into a smooth, velvety consistency before serving.
