How to Prepare Mediterranean Cabbage Soup [Vegan]

To make the soup; Add the coconut aminos and onions to a medium pot over medium heat and cook the onions until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, and miso paste, and stir to incorporate. Cook until the spices are fragrant and the vegetables slightly tender, about 2 minutes.
Add the marinara sauce and vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Remove 2 cups of the soup and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth, return to the pot and simmer for another 8 minutes.

Serve immediately and top each with the dill.
