Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 5 large 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
  • 2½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sliced garlic; cook them while stirring occasionally until softened and fragrant but not browned—about 4 minutes.
  2. Next, add 4 cups of chopped cabbage along with 1 teaspoon of oregano and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Continue to cook while stirring occasionally until the cabbage starts to soften—around 3 minutes.
  3. Add 4 cups of vegetable broth and the rinsed cannellini beans to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook while stirring occasionally until the cabbage is tender—about 8 minutes.
  4. While waiting for the soup to simmer, in a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together ¼ cup grated cheese, 1 egg, and 2½ tablespoons lemon juice. While whisking constantly, drizzle about ½ cup of hot soup broth into the egg mixture until fully incorporated. Repeat this process once more.
  5. Remove the soup from heat. Whisk in the tempered egg mixture thoroughly into the soup. Stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped dill and add ¼ teaspoon salt. Divide among four bowls; garnish with additional dill if desired.
