For me personally I love soup year around but we all know once the cold weather hits we crave soup that much more. I love this soup because it is very flavorful and healthy. The pico de Gallo gives it the perfect kick and the cabbage is very fulfilling. You can get as creative as you like and even add a lean white to the soup.

Instructions
Here is a image of all the ingredients you will need for the caldo.
You will boil water in a large pot and add a little bit of salt. You will slice your zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, and calabaza and you will add it to your pot with your bag of carrots.
When you add your chopped veggies you can also add desired noodles. I love adding noodles to any of my soups because my daughter loves the soup that much more. This is optional.
While your veggies cook you will chop your Roma tomatoes, jalapeño, and entire onion and you will add to pan with 1 tablespoon of garlic paste or your 2-3 garlic cloves. If you use garlic cloves make sure you drizzle oil to your pico de Gallo while it sautés.
Once your ingredients are nice and soft you will add to your pot.
You will also add a small handful of cumin seeds (cominos).
Next you will chop your entire cabbage and add to your pot with your cilantro.
Last but not least if you wish you will add consume. Be mindful when adding.
You will then cover and cook for about 5 minutes (until cabbage gets translucent). Keep in mind you don’t want to overcook veggies or else they will get very soft and break apart.
And here you have your tasty healthy caldo de vegetales highly recommend give it a try.
