Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 10-ounce bag frozen seasoning blend (see Tip), thawed

  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika

  • 4 cups lower-sodium vegetable broth

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 medium head green cabbage, cored and chopped

  • 3 small Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • Lemon wedges for serving

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add seasoning blend; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and paprika; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, water, tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, thyme and salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and divide among 8 bowls; stir in 1 teaspoon lemon juice per bowl. Garnish with additional thyme, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.

To make ahead

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Tip

Look for "seasoning blend" with other frozen vegetables at the supermarket to save time. It usually consists of finely chopped onion, celery, bell pepper and parsley. For some recipes you can add it right from the freezer; here we suggest you thaw it first in a colander under cool running water and drain thoroughly. You can certainly sub chopped fresh veggies if you want; you'll need about 2 1/2 cups.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
