Directions

Step 1

Core and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Peel and dice the carrots and potatoes. Finely chop the onion and celery. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Check the vegetables for tenderness after 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
