Soup Ingredients

8 cups vegetable broth
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups cabbage, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 carrots, cut into ½-inch bites
3 ribs celery, cut into ½-inch bites
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
28 ounces diced tomatoes, do not drain

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic. Cut the cabbage into 1-inch chunks, carrots into ½-inch bites, and celery ribs into ½-inch pieces to ensure even cooking and a pleasant texture.
Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, add the vegetable broth, chopped onion, minced garlic, cabbage, carrots, celery, kosher salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, and diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir everything together thoroughly to mix the flavors.
Cook the Soup: Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cabbage and carrots are tender but not mushy.
Serve: Once the vegetables are tender and the flavors melded, remove the soup from heat. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally with a garnish of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.
