Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add the cabbage, celery and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and crushed red pepper flakes, to taste.

Step 2

Add the diced tomatoes with their juice and broth. Bring the soup to a boil and cook, the pot partially covered with a lid, for about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer, uncover and cook for 20 minutes more, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3

Stir in the fresh ginger, lemon juice and lemon zest. Heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions, fresh parsley or your favorite chopped herbs, if desired.
