Ingredients
  

1 medium head of green cabbage, chopped

1 large onion, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, sliced

2 celery stalks, chopped

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)

6 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Start by rinsing and chopping all the vegetables. Ensure they are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped cabbage, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced bell pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

        Incorporate Tomatoes and Broth: Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice) into the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.

          Season the Soup: Sprinkle in the oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), and season generously with salt and pepper. Stir well.

            Simmer: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.

              Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker soup, you can use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup to your desired consistency—just remember not to over-blend all of it for some texture.

                Serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

                  Enjoy: This soup can be served warm or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, making it an excellent meal prep option!
