Ingredients

  • 1 medium green cabbage, chopped
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups carrots, sliced
  • 2 cups celery, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions become translucent.

Step 2: Add Garlic and Seasonings

Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and bay leaf if using. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3: Build the Soup

Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the vegetable broth. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4: Add the Cabbage

Add the chopped cabbage to the pot. It may seem like a lot at first, but it will quickly wilt as it cooks. Stir well to combine.

Step 5: Simmer

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have blended beautifully.
