Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
3 large carrots, diagonally sliced (¼-inch)
-
1 medium leek, sliced
-
2 medium celery stalks, diagonally sliced (¼-inch)
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
-
¾ cup dry sherry
-
8 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth
-
1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added fire-roasted diced tomatoes
-
8 cups chopped green cabbage
-
1 pound baby Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed (1-inch)
-
⅓ cup pearl barley
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
-
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots, leek, celery and garlic; cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add thyme; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sherry; bring to a boil. Boil, undisturbed, until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; transfer the mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker.
-
Add broth and tomatoes to the slow cooker; stir well to combine. Stir in cabbage, potatoes, barley, salt and crushed red pepper. Cover and cook on High until the cabbage is tender and the potatoes are cooked through, about 4 hours. Stir in sherry vinegar.
-
Divide the soup evenly among 6 bowls; garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
