Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (3 tablespoons)
- 4 cups chopped green cabbage
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish
- 4 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth or no-chicken broth
- 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (use vegetarian Parmesan if needed)
- 1 large egg
- 2½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Avoid browning to keep the flavors mild.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage, oregano, and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed cannellini beans. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium, cover, and cook for 8 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk together Parmesan cheese, the egg, and lemon juice. Slowly add ½ cup of hot broth to this mixture while whisking constantly to temper the egg. Repeat with another ½ cup of broth.
- Remove the soup from the heat and gently stir in the tempered egg mixture. Add fresh dill and salt, stirring until fully combined.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional dill and ground pepper, if desired. Serve hot.
