Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups green cabbage, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes, 14.5 ounces
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups green beans, cut into pieces
6 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, then cook for 5 to 6 minutes until they begin to soften.
2. Stir in the garlic and chopped cabbage. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage starts to wilt.
3. Add the diced tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
4. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cabbage is soft.
5. Remove the bay leaf, stir in the fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Do not boil the soup too aggressively once the vegetables are added, or the cabbage and potatoes can become too soft instead of tender.
