Instructions

Sauté Aromatics: Coat the bottom of a large pot with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sweat the vegetables for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until they begin to soften.
Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook with the vegetables for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes very fragrant.
Combine Main Ingredients and Simmer: Add vegetable broth, chopped cabbage, rinsed cannellini beans, and diced potatoes to the pot. Raise the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until cabbage and potatoes are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Finish and Season: Remove pot from heat. Stir in lemon juice, fresh dill, and fresh chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

You can use any type of white beans if cannellini beans are unavailable.
Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more or less vegetable broth.
Fresh herbs can be substituted with dried herbs; use one-third of the amount.
This soup freezes well – store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup and mix it back in before serving.
