In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 7 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Stir in the thinly sliced carrots and continue to sauté for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to become crisp-tender.

Add the shredded green cabbage to the pot, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to help the cabbage wilt and reduce in volume.

Pour in the chicken broth along with 2 1/2 cups of water, followed by the fresh dill, tomato paste, grated ginger, and season generously with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is very tender and well combined with the other ingredients.
