Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Dill Cabbage Soup
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 4 minutes until the onion turns translucent and the garlic is fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Stir in 4 cups of chopped green cabbage, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the cabbage to slightly soften.
- Pour in 4 cups of reduced-sodium vegetable broth and add 1 can (15 oz) of rinsed cannellini beans. Increase the heat to bring to a gentle boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the cabbage is tender.
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, the juice of 1 large lemon, and 1 egg. Gradually temper the egg mixture by adding hot broth from the soup, whisking constantly.
- Remove the soup from heat and gently stir in the tempered egg mixture until fully combined. Add a handful of chopped fresh dill and season it with salt to taste.
- Ladle the soup into warm bowls and garnish with additional fresh dill and cracked black pepper. Enjoy with crusty bread.
