Step 1

To a large soup pot, add all ingredients except for the parsley. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook over low heat for about 45 minutes.  The soup should be done when the cabbage and carrots are cooked all the way through.

Step 2

Stir in fresh parsley and squeeze the lemon into the soup, and taste for seasoning (add more salt if needed).  Enjoy!
